Question

To avoid a storm, a passenger-jet pilot descended 0.38 mile in 0.4 minute. What was the plane’s average change of altitude per minute?

Answers

  1. Answer:
    0.55 mile / minute
    Step-by-step explanation:
    The average change of altitude per minute would simply be the ratio of distance descended over time. That is:
    average change of altitude = distance / time
    average change of altitude = 0.44 mile / 0.8 minutes
    average change of altitude = 0.55 mile / minute
