all that stuff is just noise. We will be happy to help solve your problems, but don't give all those instructions that it is your job to follow!
oobleck I found the answer so I don't need help. I just wanted to test it out.
To calculate the balloon's total change in altitude, we need to multiply the rate of descent (320 feet per minute) by the duration of descent (3 minutes).
Mathematically, we can represent this as:
Total change in altitude = Rate of descent x Duration of descent
Plugging in the values:
Total change in altitude = 320 feet/minute * 3 minutes
To multiply the integers, we simply multiply the numbers and keep the same sign (since both the rate of descent and duration of descent are positive).
320 * 3 = 960
Therefore, the balloon's total change in altitude is 960 feet.
