Question

A tram moved downward 54 meters in 6 seconds at a constant rate. What was the change in the tram's elevation each second?

Answer 1

Answer:

9 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the change in the tram's elevation each second, you must divide the given figures which is now the given formula of $\frac{meters}{seconds}$;

$54$ ÷ $6 =$

$\frac{54}{6} = 9$

Therefore, the change in the tram's elevation is 9 each second.

Answer 2

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

I say this because, the change in this problem is a negative one. Meaning you change the 54 into a negative number then divide by 6. So, -54 divided by 6 = -9. And remember, if there is one negative number and one positive it will be negative. If two negative it will be positive.

I hope I helped! Sorry if I'm wrong!
