=**The Nanjing Greenland Financial Center**=



__**//Background information//**__://The Nanjing Greenland Financial Center in Nanjing, China, is the eighth tallest building in the world. It is 1,476 ft. tall, and it contains 66 floors. The construction of this beautiful glass tower took 5 years to make, starting in 2005 and ending in 2010. The building is used for offices, restaurants, a hotel, and a public observatory on the top.//

__**//Word Problem #1://**__ Joey went to the observatory of the Nanjing Greenland Financial Center. When he got up there, he realized he forgot his camera, so he asked his brother to launch it to him on the bottom. If the building is 1476 ft tall, and the launcher launched camera at 70 ft/second, how long will it take for the camera to reach Joey at the top of the building?

__**//Word Problem #2://**__ After Joey was done taking pictures, he decided he did not want the camera any more, so he called his brother to go in front of the building to retrieve it from him. If Joey dropped it from the top of the building at 1476 ft, and Joey's brother is 6 ft tall, how long will it take for the camera to reach Joey's brother.
