    6 min

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (a) Calculate the change in height

    Δh = h₂ - h₁ = 30 000 ft - 6000 ft = 24 000 ft

    (b) Calculate the time to reach altitude

    distance = rate * time

    Divide both sides by rate

    time = distance/rate = 24 000 ft * (1 min/4000 ft) = 6 min

    It takes 6 min to reach cruising altitude.
