A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 90 miles per hour. What is this rate in feet per second? At this rate, how many feet will the parachutist fall during 5 seconds of free fall? In your computations, use the fact that 1 mile is equal to 5 feet. Do not round your answers

The parachutist's rate of fall is 132 feet per second. In turn, in 5 seconds, the parachutist will drop 660 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 90 miles per hour, to determine what is this rate in feet per second and, at this rate, how many feet will the parachutist fall during 5 seconds of free fall, knowing that 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet, the following calculations must be performed:

90 x 5280 = 475,200

475,200 / 60/60 = X

7,920 / 60 = X

132 = X

Thus, the parachutist's rate of fall is 132 feet per second.

132 x 5 = 660

In turn, in 5 seconds, the parachutist will drop 660 feet.

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
