Q:

An airplane flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet flies up to avoid a storm. Immediately after passing the storm, the airplane returns to its original altitude. What integer represents the airplane's change in altitude to avoid the storm? What integer represents the altitude after passing the storm?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The integer representing the change of altitude to avoid the storm is 8,000The integer representing the altitude after passing the storm is 30,000Explanation:The diagram of this question is shown in the attached imageWe are given that the initial altitude of the plane was 30,000 ft1- During the storm:The plane flew at at altitude of 38,000 feetTo get the change in the altitude, we will subtract the final altitude from the initial onechange of altitude = final altitude - initial altitudechange of altitude = 38,000 - 30,000 = 8,000 ftTherefore, the integer representing the change of altitude to avoid the storm is 8,0002- After the storm:We know that, after the storm, the plane returned to its initial altitudeGiven that the initial altitude is 30,000 ft, this would mean that the integer representing the altitude after passing the storm is 30,000Hope this helps :)
