Question

Nola hiked down a trail at a steady rate for 10 minutes. Her change in elevation was -170 feet. Then she continued to hike down another 20 minutes at a different rate. Her change in elevation for this part of the hike was -260 feet. During which portion of the hike did she walk down at a faster rate?
PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

If you divide 170 by 10, you get:
170/10 = 17
I turned the -170 into a positive because when you divide them, you get 17 miles per minute, you can’t get -17 miles.
Then, you divide 260 by 20, and you get :
260/20 = 13
So, 17>13
Which means that’s Nola walked faster when she walked for 10 minutes.
I’m pretty sure that this is the answer, hope this helps. Do you mind making this brainliest?
