A pilot is flying an airplane due to strong winds the pilot decides to fly 4,000 feet lower to avoid excessive turbulence it takes the pilot 3.5 minutes to make this adjustment interpet the quotient to describe the rate of change in the planes altitude give your answer to the nearest hundredth and remember the plane is descending

6 answers

To interpret the quotient, we need to divide the change in altitude by the time it took to make the adjustment.

The change in altitude is 4,000 feet, and the time taken is 3.5 minutes.

So, the rate of change in the plane's altitude is 4,000 feet / 3.5 minutes.

Now, let's calculate this rate of change:

4,000 feet / 3.5 minutes ≈ 1142.86 feet/minute

Therefore, the rate of change in the plane's altitude is approximately 1142.86 feet per minute.

hes right
-4 * 7/5 * (-3/4) divided by 7/15 use PEMDAS to solve.
Bot?
The correct answer is −1,142.86
