A jet airplane is at an altitude of 30,000 feet. The aircraft is capable of climbing at a rate of 1400 feet per minute. Approximately how many minutes will it take the jet to climb to 53,000 feet from its current altitude of
30,000 feet?

16.42 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the difference of the altitude you want and current altitude

53,000 - 30,000 = 23,000

Divide the value you got with the constant rate of change

23,000/1400 = 16.42

It will take 16.42 mins

Let's create a simple equation to find the number of minutes the jet will take to climb to 53,000 feet.

x = # of minutes

30,000ft + 1400x = 53,000ft

Subtract both sides by 30,000ft

1400x = 23,000ft

Divide both sides by 1400ft

x = 16.43

It will take the jet approximately 16.43 minutes to reach 53,000ft from 30,000ft

13.33%

say 50 oranges, then 100 apples

80 are red, 20 are yellow

total fruit = 150

20chances out of 150 for yellow

20/150 = 13.33%
