A parachutist descends 56 feet in 4 seconds. What integer represents the​ parachutist's change in height in feet per​ second?

Answer 1

To find the parachutist's change in height in feet per second, we can divide the descent in feet by the time in seconds:

Change in height = Descent / Time

Change in height = 56 feet / 4 seconds

Simplifying,

Change in height = 14 feet per second

The integer that represents the parachutist's change in height in feet per second is 14.
