Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  In this case, we have a descent of 2,125 feet (initial height of 5,439 - ending height of 3,314). Since it took 34 minutes for the balloon to descend this distance, we divide the descent by the time (2,125/34). This gives us a rate of 62.5 feet per minute.  

  That means that the balloon traveled downward 62.5 feet every minute.
