Question

The fastest elevators in the Burj Khalifa can travel 330 feet in just 10 seconds. How far does the elevator travel in 11 seconds? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

363 feet because the elevator travels at a speed of 33 feet per second.

Explanation:

330ft = 10 seconds

Divide both sides by 10

33ft = 1 second

now we know that the elevator travels 33 ft per second

To find how far does the elevator travel in 11 seconds,multiply both sides by 11

33ft = 1 seconds

363ft = 11 seconds
