QuestionFind the altitude change per minute for a balloon that descended 2,700 feet in 135 minutes. What is the value?

Studdy Solution
Calculate the change in altitude per minute.
$$Change\, in\, altitude\, per\, minute =2,700\, feet /135\, minutes = -20\, feet/minute$$The negative sign indicates that the balloon is descending, i.e., the altitude is decreasing.
The change in altitude of the balloon each minute is -20 feet.
