Answer:

-46 feet/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial elevation = 1,380 ft

Final Elevation = 0 feet

Change in elevation

= Final elevation - Initial Elevation

= 0 - 1,380

= - 1,380 feet

Given that the journey took 30 min,

rate of descent = Change in elevation / time

= -1,380 / 30

= - 46 feet/min
