An airplane is 32,000 feet above the ground begins descending at a rate 2,500 feet
per minute. Write an equation to model the situation. *

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the rate of the elevation per minute, so -2,500 feet every minute. And 32,000 is the start elevation.

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
