Respuesta :

Answer:

107.5

Step-by-step explanation:

8 × 2.75ft = 22ft

22ft + 85.5ft = 107.5ft

Answer:

107.1

Step-by-step explanation:

the elevator is at 85.5 feet.

if the ascending (going up) rate is 2.75 and you want to know how far in 8 seconds, it's an easy process.

1. find the direction your going (up or down)

2. how far? (what rate for this one)

3. multiply said problem (2.75 x 8)

4. get your answer (21.6 ft per 8 seconds)

5. add or subtract to the height you are at now (85.5 ft)

6. you now have your answer! (107.1 ft in the air)
