@ilovepuppys

Look at your question carefully.

It says:
\(\sf descends ~at~ a~ rate ~of~ 320~ feet ~per\) \(\bf minute\)

Answer 3

It says per MINUTE.

And it wants to know how much we descend in 3 Minutes.

So would we multiply, divide, add, or subtract?

Answer 4

See we know that change in altitude = speed X time by definition. So speed here is 320 ft/min. and time is 3 min. so total altitude change will be 320*3 = 960 feets.
