Answer:1/3
its 1/3 because 4 dived by 4 = 1 and 12 dived by 4 =3 so answer is 1/3
This might look hard at first, but if you break it down into parts, it will be much easier. With that said, start with what you know. You see that the word problem says "the difference of y and 9", which means that you have to stubtract them. So, part of the equation is going to be y - 9. Now to look at the rest of the word problem. It says to divide by 3, so now you have to take what you have so far and divide that by 3. This means that you are going to have to divide the y - 9 by 3.
Your answer should be:
y - 9 / 3

Since the plane descends 1,300 feet per minute it would descend 19,500 feet after 15 minutes (1,300 x 15 = 19,500) Subtract this from the plane's initial altitude 32,000 and the new altitude will be 12,500. (32,000-19,500=12,500)
