Question

To avold a storm, a passenger-jet pilot descended 0.44mile in 0.8 minute. What was the plane's average change of altitude per minute?

Answer 1

Answer:
in order to find the answer you have to divide 0.44 by 0.8
when you divide decimals, the number that goes outside needs to be a whole number so it has to be 8
since you moved the decimal you also have to move the decimal from the inside. If you move the decimal it is going to be 4.4
so now you divide those numbers. 4.4/8

Hope this helps!
