    Answer:

    68.5 feet per minute

    Step-by-step explanation:

    rate of descent = feet / minute

    First you need to find how many feet it has descended:

    beginning altitude- ending altitude = total feet descended

    5717 feet – 3388 feet = 2329 feet

    To figure out the rate of decent we will divide

    2329 feet / 34 minutes = 68.5 feet per minute

    The hot air ballon descended 68.5 feet per minute for 34 minutes.
