An elevator in a mine shaft is stopped at a .25 feet below ground level. And then travels 28 feet downward. What equation can be written to find the final position in feet of the elevator in relations to ground level?

Correct question:

An elevator in a mine shaft is stopped at 25 feet below ground level. And then travels 28 feet downward. What equation can be written to find the final position in feet of the elevator in relations to ground level?

-53 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial stop point = 25 feets below ground level

Further distance traveled = 28 feets below ground level

Final position in feet = Initial stop point + further distance traveled

Note : distances or point traveled below ground level or downward is represented as negative.

Final position in feets = (-25)feets + (-28)feets

Final position in feets = - 53 feets

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.

what is the answer?
