Question

A hot air balloons height varies directly as the balloons ascents the time in minutes. A hot air balloon rises at 350 feet in five minutes. Write a direct variation equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

h α t

h = kt

k = h/t

350 = k5

350/5 = k

k = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Ballon height varies directly as the Ascent time in minutes

Height of hot air Ballon rises 350 feets in 5 seconds

Expressing as a direct variation :

Let height of Ballon = h

Time it takes to rise = t

h α t

h = kt

k = h/t

350 = k5

350/5 = k

k = 70
