A hot air balloon begins it dissent at a rate of 22 to 1/2 ft. per minute how long will it take for the balloons elevation to change by -315 feet?

Respuesta :

Answer:

In 14 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the rate of 22 and [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet per minute, a hot air balloon is going down.

Therefore, the balloon dissents [tex]22\frac{1}{2} = \frac{45}{2}[/tex] feet per minute.

Therefore, the balloon will dissent 315 feet i.e. there will be a change of elevation by - 315 feet in [tex]\frac{315}{\frac{45}{2} } = \frac{315 \times 2}{45} = 14[/tex] minutes. (Answer)
