Question

A commercial airplane is flying at an elevation of 15,000 feet and ascends to an elevation of 20000 feet at a rate of 1250 feet per minute. How many minutes does this ascent take?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Put it into an equation

20000 = 1250x + 15000

Subtract 15000 from both sides

5000 = 1250x

Divide both sides by 1250

4 = x
