Answer:
Answer:
68.5 feet per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
rate of descent = feet / minute
First you need to find how many feet it has descended:
beginning altitude- ending altitude = total feet descended
5717 feet - 3388 feet = 2329 feet
To figure out the rate of decent we will divide
2329 feet / 34 minutes = 68.5 feet per minute
The hot air ballon descended 68.5 feet per minute for 34 minutes.
