    Descent  = 10 feet
    Time required = 2 1/2 minutes.
    The rate of descent = (10 feet)/(2.5 mn) = 4 ft/min

    In 6 minutes, the descent will be
    (4 ft/min)*(6 min) = 24 ft

    (a) 4 feet/minute
    (b) 24 feet

    To get Andy’s descent as a unit rate, we can express this in terms of ratio of distance over time.

    The total distance he descended is 10 feet while the total time 2 ½ minutes or 2.5 minutes. Therefore his rate is:

     

    rate = 10 feet / 2.5 minutes

    rate = 4 feet / minute

    I would use the starting position, sea level as zero. Then I would convert all those minutes to hours so the answer is an integer and not a decimal.
    60 min * (-10 ft / 212 min) = -2.83 ft/hr

    round to integer = -3 ft/hr

    rate = 10 feet / 2.5 minutes

    rate = 4 feet / minute

    hope dat helps UwU

    A. 4 feet per minute

    B. 24 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that: distance = 10 feet

                       time = 2 1/2 minutes = 2.5 minutes

    A. The descent rate is the speed with which an object descends with respect to a reference point or plane.

    Speed is the rate of the distance moved to time taken.

    speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

               = [tex]\frac{10}{2.5}[/tex]

               = 4 feet/minute

    Andy's descent is 4 feet/minute.

    B. If he continues at this rate, his distance in relation to sea level after 6 minutes would be;

    speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

    4 = [tex]\frac{distance}{6}[/tex]

    distance = 4 x 6

                  = 24 feet

    Thus, Andy would be at 24 feet in relation to sea level after 6 minutes.

    Descent  = 10 feet

    Time required = 2 1/2 minutes.

    The rate of descent = (10 feet)/(2.5 mn) = 4 ft/min

    In 6 minutes, the descent will be

    (4 ft/min)*(6 min) = 24 ft

    (a) 4 feet/minute

    (b) 24 feet

    The rate of descent is 4 ft/min.

    He will descent 24 ft in 6 min.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Consider the provided information.

    He starts at sea level and then descends 10 feet in 2 1/2 minutes.

    First convert the mixed fraction as shown:

    [tex]2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2} =2.5[/tex]

    Therefore the rate of descent is:

    The rate of descent = [tex]\frac{10}{2.5}=4[/tex]

    Hence, the rate of descent is 4 ft/min

    Now find In 6 minutes, how much he will descent:

    [tex]4\times 6=24[/tex]

    Hence, he will descent 24 ft in 6 min.
