QuestionPart A A hot air balloon is at an altitude of $100 \frac{1}{5}$ yards. The balloon's altitude decreases by $10 \frac{4}{5}$ yards every minute.
Which equation can be used to determine the number of minutes, $m$ , it will take the balloon to reach an altitude of 57 yards? A) $10 \frac{4}{5}+100 \frac{1}{5} m=57$ B) $10 \frac{4}{5}-100 \frac{1}{5} m=57$ C) $100 \frac{1}{5}+10 \frac{4}{5} m=57$ D) $100 \frac{1}{5}-10 \frac{4}{5} m=57$

Studdy Solution
Identify the correct equation from the given options.
The equation we derived is:
$100 \frac{1}{5} - 10 \frac{4}{5} \times m = 57$
This matches option D.
The correct equation is:
$\boxed{D) \, 100 \frac{1}{5} - 10 \frac{4}{5} m = 57}$
