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

96 answers

320 * 3 = ?
Ms.Sue it equals 960.
Ms.Sue is right, but the answer to the question is -960.
why would it be negative instead of positive?
thank you
this is totaly off topic
I agree. . .
but . . .
I LIKE CHEESECAKE TOO!!!!!!!
X3
O_O I DO TOO!!!!
So how do you get -960 to this question?
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
Right
Thx MATH.
PPL DROP THE "DAD IS WRONG U R ADOPTED" THING!!!!
AND THE WEIRD RANDOM CHEESECAKE ONE
thx math ur answer was really helpful. Thx again. (im not cheating).
I've never tried cheesecake and the 'Your Dad' so called "insults" are not funny and lame.
Also, 'MATH' is right.

From the savage,
Your Helper
But why is the answer -960?? How did it get the negative sign??
i have no idea pesto but i know the answers to just 7 answers.
1. A drop of 8 meters
2. the left one
3. -8, -5, 6, 11, 16
4. -10
5.-1
6. -13
7. 15
hope this helps!
Love you guys.
and "my dad" please do not be mean.!
Oh and MATH why is 360 x 3= 1,080?????????????
please explain it to me
MATH IS WRONG !!!
320 X 3 = 1,080.!!!
LIER!!!
I also like cheese cake!!!
LOL
OMG I AM SOOO SORRY MATH YOU ARE RIGHT! I DID 360x3 AND I GOT 1,080 SOO SORRY. I THOUGHT THAT I DID 320 BUT NO . EVERYONE TRUST MATH 320X3=960!!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY MATH
where does the 360 come in
CHEEEEEEEESECAKE
HOW DID YOU GUYS GET THE NEGATIVE SIGN!! I'm freaking OUT HERE
even tho my name says " helper" im just freaking out so im changing meh name
So apparently, i'm taking this as meh new name.
CcCccHhHeEESSsSeEeeCAaakkKEeEe
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
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
This comment-string is funny xD
stop with the cheescake
CHEESECAKE YUMMY YUM ^-^
wHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just give the answer. And don't get off topic! If you guys are in connexus you know how the teachers say in the chat "DONT SPAM OR YOU WILL GET KICKED OUT?" JUST STOPP!!!
For everyone who is helping. You keep saying "360" when it is 320. Just a correction if anyone else got confused by that. Also please don't use this website for cheating, if your gonna use the website least use it for checking your answers and seeing your mistakes. You can down-vote this if you want but you know that I'm right.
wtf yall talking bout cheesecake for
So should the equation be written as 320*(-3)=-960
Or -320×3=-960
This was supposed to be a homework help site but everyone was talking bout cheesecake and being adopted and a lot of random crap. Just "WOW" people these days.....-.-
For real tho I LOVE CHEESE CAKE
you all are adopted infents lmao qwears
IT IS MINUS 960 BECAUSE IT IS LOSING THAT ALTITUDE! NOT GAINING IT! not trying to be rude but its starting to get annoying
yall r not ok
I don’t think you guys understand random doesn’t mean funny. Y’all look stupid
i agree with mutant...
-320 x 3 = -960
if y’all would pay attention y’all would know .. nd I don’t like sweet so I don’t like cheese cake 👌🏽
Guys you do realize that Mrs. Sue will not give us the answer, we have to get it ourself. Shes a teacher, not a answer-giver!
Where is intregers?!!
im going 2 brainly ... WTF guys!?!?!? i mean geez man. (T~T)
You would do -320*3=-960
your dad is adopted and your birth parents said ur a mistake
T^T i am actually crying cause my mum and dad are not with the earth so DON'T SAY THEY DIDN'T LOVE ME OR I WAS ADOPTED!!!
T^T T^T T^T

*big sis hugs her and is also crying*
geez.. be nice yall some people no longer have there parents with them. Stop trying to boost your ego, think about what you are saying.
im still confused
house 120
This page is just spam!
The answer is -960 if you people couldnt tell by the other comments
YOU ARE NOT THE FARTHER
I have a terrible father-
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.
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
OMG I LOVE CHEESE CAKE TOO
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
The balloon is going down, so it's -320*3=-960
Ms. Sue thx for the help you are sometimes a big help to me
thanks nanon
i agree with 21
this is soo of topic.
But anyways the answer is -960 because,
320x3 = 960 and change the altidute and u get -960
hope this helps!
also this comment string is so weird...
Can i just point out! Goko! WTH its grogu! Learn to spell! Watch star wars and pay more attention!
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
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!
thanks very helpful !! bye
I LOVE CHEESECAKE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
;-; i figured this out myself just forgot the negative sign and btw WHATIS GOING ON HERE!?

I LIKE CHEESE CAKE TO I HAVE SOME IN MY FRIDGE
Bro there be some annoying 12 y/o up in this jishka forum L math though.
Am I the only one here that hates cheese cake?
Thanks @Math
So, here's a hint. When it says "descends" the answer will be a negative.
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)
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
seconds one is 21000 / 3 = 7000
the average change in volume per month would be 7000
nerd thank you I understand why the negative
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.
yall need to pay attention to your class talking bout "what is an integer" I mean like bru this whole this is about integers.
I'm now officially L O S T. {o-o}
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
henlo y'all

also i hate cheesecake, my dad s*cks, i am not adopted and y'all trying to be funny are not funny. the only thing you are is on cr*ck

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.
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.
