Question

While returning to the glider port Lucy descended for four minutes at a rate of 200 ft./min. how much altitude did she lose if her starting altitude was 2200 feet what was her Final altitude

Answer 1

1400 is the final altitude

Explanation:

Since Lucy descended for four minutes at a rate of 200 feet per minute, we can find how much altitude she lost in four minutes by multiplying 200 by 4. So Lucy descended 800 feet.

To find the final altitude, we take how much she descended and take it away from her starting altitude. So 2200-800 = 1400 feet.
