Question

A hot air balloon descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes. Whats the balloons total change in altitude?

Answer 1

320 * 3 = ?

Answer 2

Ms.Sue it equals 960.

Answer 3

Ms.Sue is right, but the answer to the question is -960.

Answer 4

why would it be negative instead of positive?

Answer 5

thank you

Answer 6

this is totaly off topic

Answer 7

I agree. . .

Answer 8

but . . .

Answer 9

I LIKE CHEESECAKE TOO!!!!!!!
X3

Answer 10

O_O I DO TOO!!!!

Answer 11

So how do you get -960 to this question?

Answer 12

You would have to multiply 360 and 3 to get to 960. So that means for every minute, that the air balloon descends (360 feet) the total that it will descend will end up being 960 feet in just three minutes. Once you had changed the altitude it should be -960.

~Hope this helps

Answer 28

CcCccHhHeEESSsSeEeeCAaakkKEeEe

Answer 29

For everyone who is confused about how the 960 became -960 is that:
360=the rate it's going at
3=the time it's going at
360 * 3=960
but the question says it is descending so it would become a Negative

Answer 30

3 x 320 = 960, which would be the total altitude going up for 3 minutes, but it's going down, so instead of being a positive integer, it would be negative. the final answer would be -960.

hope this helps !! <3

For everyone who is helping. You keep saying "360" when it is 320. Just a correction if anyone else got confused by that.

You can down-vote this if you want but you know that I'm right.

everyone drop the parents' thing, you're hurting some people's feelings. Think about what you say. This is a homework site, not a place to spam random things and make fun of people.

Answer 63

A hot air balloon descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes. Use integers to calculate and represent the balloon's total change in altitude. to find the balloon's total change in altitude you do 320 times 3 because its going 320 descends per minute so to get your answer multiply 320 3 times

Answer 64

OMG I LOVE CHEESE CAKE TOO

Answer 65

Well, I lost more brain cells.

For anyone who wants to know, the hot air balloon is DESCENDING. That means that it is going down. That means you make it negative.

And the whole 'adopted' thing won't hurt anyone's feelings, and if they say it does, they're just looking for drama. I'm adopted and I really don't care about the whole thing.

And cheesecake? If this is the new topic, Jiskha has hit a new all-time low. lol

Have a great day everyone, and.. just say 'uwu' more ofter. smh
uwu

Answer 66

The balloon is going down, so it's -320*3=-960

Answer 67

Ms. Sue thx for the help you are sometimes a big help to me

hope this helps!
also this comment string is so weird...

Answer 71

Can i just point out! Goko! WTH its grogu! Learn to spell! Watch star wars and pay more attention!

Answer 72

the helper the your dad is wrong and your adopted thing is payback because someone called "your dad" was being rude and said your mom is wrong and you are adopted to someone

Answer 73

Ok. To get this answer is that you must multiply feet per minute which is 320 and by the minutes which was 3 mins. You should get 960 as your answer. But! the 960 needs to be a negative integer so your answer would be -960 feet. Why? It is because the balloons DESCENDED which means decreased(lower) so -320 would be a negative while the minutes(3) was a positive integer. So your expression would be something like this:
-320 x (3)= -960 Hope this helped!

Answer 74

Answer 80

Am I the only one here that hates cheese cake?

Answer 81

Thanks @Math

Answer 82

So, here's a hint. When it says "descends" the answer will be a negative.

Answer 83

NARUTO YOU IDIOT!! WHY DID YOU START THE "CHEESECAKE" MEME?! NOW EVEN OTHER M.C.'S ARE SAYING THE SAME THING YOUR DUMB BUTT SAID! (m.c. stands for main character)

Answer 84

dang yall have been working on this for 10 years but anyone in 2023 this is the answer
-320 x 3 = -960
they are minus numbers because the hot air balloon is descending

Answer 85

seconds one is 21000 / 3 = 7000
the average change in volume per month would be 7000

Answer 86

nerd thank you I understand why the negative

Answer 87

A hot air balloon descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes. Use integers to calculate and represent the balloon's total change in altitude.

It says a hot ballon DECENDS which means drops which is a negative sign. That's why it's -320 x 3

and yea who ever says its losing altitude is also correct.

Answer 88

yall need to pay attention to your class talking bout "what is an integer" I mean like bru this whole this is about integers.

Answer 89

I'm now officially L O S T. {o-o}

Answer 90

MATH is correct the 360 was probs a mistake its actually
320 x 3 = 960
but the 960 would be -960
"descends at a rate of 320"
if it descends then it would be -960
hope this helps

Answer 95

A hot air balloon descends at a rate of 320 ft per minute for 3 minutes. Use integers to calculate and represent the balloons total change in altitude.

Answer 96

To calculate the total change in altitude of the hot air balloon descending at a rate of 320 ft per minute for 3 minutes, you can multiply the rate of descent by the time, which gives you:

320 x 3 = 960

However, it's important to note that the hot air balloon is descending, so the answer should be negative. Therefore, the total change in altitude of the balloon is -960 ft.
