Answer: Hi!

So first, I'm going to convert "350 below ground level" to -350, as this is what "below ground level" represents.

Now, we should find the total distance traveled. Take the absolute value of -350 (350) and add it to 10, the metres above ground level. This is 360.

We already know the rate of travel; 6m/min. All we have to do now is divide the total distance (360) by the rate of travel (6)!

360 ÷ 6 = 60

So, it took 60 minutes, or one hour, for the elevator to travel down the shaft!

Hope this helps!

lucas lives 5/8 mile from school.kenny lives twice as far as lucas from school.how many miles does kenny live from school
dexar [7]
<span><span>1.       </span>Lucas Lives 5/8 miles from their schools
=> 5/8 miles is equals to:
=> 5 / 8 = 0.625 miles.
Now, the problem says that Kenny lives twice as far as Lucas from their school.
Therefore, we only need to multiply the total number of miles of Lucas distance from house to school to be able to get what is the distance of Kenny’s house to school
=> 0.625 * 2 = 1.25 miles or 1 and ¼ miles.</span>
