Answer:

68.5 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

rate of descent = feet / minute

First you need to find how many feet it has descended:

beginning altitude- ending altitude = total feet descended

5717 feet - 3388 feet = 2329 feet

To figure out the rate of decent we will divide

2329 feet / 34 minutes = 68.5 feet per minute

The hot air ballon descended 68.5 feet per minute for 34 minutes.
