Question

An airplane 27000 feet above the ground is descending at a rate of 1501.5 feet per minute. Assuming the plane continues at the same rate of descent, how long will it be before it is on the ground ?

Answer 1

(x feet) / (y feet / min) gives answer in minutes, which is what you want.

Answer 2

So I dunno how to put that into an equation....

Answer 3

Try.

Answer 4

95% of the work is done for you. Just substitute.

Answer 5

where do i put everything? That's confusing cuz I don't have the time yet so I can't divide the y by the time....

Answer 6

time is in the rate.
