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)
