To find the average change of altitude per minute, we can divide the change of altitude (0.44 miles) by the time taken (0.8 minutes).
0.44 miles / 0.8 minutes = 0.55 miles per minute
Therefore, the plane's average change of altitude per minute is 0.55 miles.
The correct answer is D. The plane ascended 0.55 miles per minute.
0.44 miles / 0.8 minutes = 0.55 miles per minute
Therefore, the plane's average change of altitude per minute is 0.55 miles.
The correct answer is D. The plane ascended 0.55 miles per minute.

Apologies for the mistake. Let me recalculate.
To find the average change of altitude per minute, we divide the change of altitude (0.44 miles) by the time taken (0.8 minutes).
0.44 miles / 0.8 minutes ≈ 0.55 miles per minute
Therefore, the plane's average change of altitude per minute is 0.55 miles.
The correct answer is C. The plane descended 0.55 miles per minute.
