Question

An elevator ascends, or goes up, at a rate of 750 feet per minute. Is the height to which the elevator ascends proportional to the number of minutes it takes to get there?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

We know this because the proportion can be used to find another answer.

Example:

How many feet did the elevator ascend in 0.25 minutes?

750 x

---------- = ----------

1 0.25

750(0.25) = 1x

187.5 = x
