Answer: Choice A, -1540 feet
----------------------------------
Explanation:
Multiply the rate (44 ft per sec) by the number of seconds (35) to get 44*35 = 1540
The answer will be negative to indicate that the altitude has gone down. If you put in a positive change, then the altitude would go up. So that's why the answer is choice A
Note: when you multiply 44 ft/sec by 35 sec, the "second" units cancel out leaving just feet.
Another note: if you want, think of the 44 as -44 to indicate that the plane is decreasing at a rate of 44 ft/sec
Answer:
1) 1 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the shortest ribbons is 3/8 long, and one of the longest is 1 1/2 long. 1 1/2 minus 3/8 is equal to 1 1/8, because 1 1/2 is equal to 1 4/8, and subtracting 3/8 from that gives us 1 1/8.
Simple....
so you have:

There's the law where if the number outside your parentheses is negative along with the number in the parentheses; it converts into positive...
-->>x-(-x)
--->>x+(+x)
This being said.....

But remember, you want to simplify it....

(Decimal form..1.25)
Thus, your answer.
