Given the statement:

After hiking to the top of a mountain, Raul starts to descend at the rate of 350 feet per hour

Determine the vertical change after 1 ½ hour.

Solution:

In order to determine the vertical change after 1 ½ hour, we simply needed to multiply 350 ft per hour by 1.5 hr

= ( 350 ft/hr)(1.5 hr)

= 525 ft

Final answer:

The vertical change after 1 ½ hour is 525 ft.
