It's OK to sign it this way!

The signsHEIGHT, BALLOON, WHERE, IN, ELAPSED, TAKE, TO, and HIT (not hit a person) are conceptually incorrect.
**English word order does not help the students to visualize the setting and can cause confusion in their minds. If students can understand English print, they don't need the ASL. But, if they don't understand English print, using signed English will not help them understand the text any better.
 



Question: 42

The height of an object dropped from a hot-air balloon can be determined by the formula h = 16t2 + s, where h is the height of the object in feet, t is the elapsed time in seconds, and s is the height of the balloon.

If the balloon is 400 feet from the ground, how long will it take for an object dropped from the balloon to hit the ground?
