A hot air balloon rises 300 feet per minute for 9 minutes. Your friend says that it’s impossible to determine the balloons height after 4 minutes. Which of the following is an explanation of how you can find the height of the balloon after 9 minutes
1 answer
You can find the height of the balloon after 9 minutes by simply multiplying the rate of ascent (300 feet per minute) by the total time elapsed (9 minutes). This calculation would give you the total height the balloon has risen after 9 minutes, which is 2700 feet. Therefore, it is indeed possible to determine the height of the balloon after 9 minutes.
