A plane traveled 960 miles each way to Jakarta and back. The trip there was with the wind. It took 10 hours. The trip back was into the wind. The trip back took 20 hours. What is the speed of the plane in still air? What is the speed of the wind?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Wind speed = 40 km/hr

Speed of the plane in still air = 280km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to use

Distance = Rate multiplied by Time

D = R × T

Speed of the plane in still air = a

Speed of the wind = b

Plane with the wind (tailwind) is a + b where the time = 3hours

Plane against the wind is a - b, where the time = 4hours

This would give us 2 equations

3 × (a+ b) = 960

3a + 3b = 960 ...... Equation 1

4 × (a- b) = 960

4a - 4b = 960 ........ Equation 2

Solve this like you would with system of equations:

We solve the equation using elimination method.

Mulitply equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by -3

4 × (3a + 3b = 960)

12a + 12b = 3840 ..... Equation 4

-3 × (4a- 4b = 960)

-12a + 12b= -2880 ........ Equation 5

Therefore we have

12a + 12b = 3840 ..... Equation 4

-12a + 12b= -2880 ........ Equation 5

24b = 960

b = 960÷ 24

b = 40

Wind Speed = 40km/hr

To find the speed of air, we use equation 2

4a - 4b = 960 ........ Equation 2

Substituting 40 which is wind of speed for b in equation 2 we would have

4a - 4(40) = 960

4a - 160 = 960

4a = 960 + 160

4a = 1120

a = 1120 ÷ 4

a = 280

The speed of the small plane in still air is 280 km/hr

25% of Santa's 9 reindeer were playing reindeer games. How many of Santa's reindeer were NOT playing reindeer
games?

Answers

Answer:

75%, or 7

Step-by-step explanation:

100-25=75

75% of 9 is 6.75 (because 9x0.75)

so we can round to 7, unless there's a decapitated reindeer involved

Answer: 6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

for this math problem we need to find the percentage and subtract that from the original number ( 9 ) . . .

what is 25% if 9 ? 2.25

what is 9 - 2.25 ? 6.75

classify the following number 8.4444

Answers

Answer:

rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural numbers:

This is every number in the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4...

Whole numbers:

This is all of the above, but it also includes 0.

Integers:

All of the above, but this also includes negative numbers.

Rational numbers:

A rational number is any number than can be represented as a fraction of 2 integers. All of the above are also rational numbers, and below are some other examples:

[tex]1.125, \frac{1}{3}, -5\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

Irrational numbers:

Basically anything that wasn't covered above. These cannot be represented as a fraction of 2 integers.

[tex]\pi, \sqrt{3}[/tex]

=========================

You don't make it clear if this is a repeating decimal or not, but either way, this is a rational number as you can represent it as a fraction:

[tex]8.4444=\frac{21111}{2500}[/tex]

In the case that it was a repeating decimal, those are also rational numbers. Take this for example:

[tex]0.3333333...[/tex]

This is rational:

Step-by-step explanation:

to round 4.645 to the nearest whole number consider the tenths’ value of 4.645, which is 6 and equal or more than 5. Therefore, we have to round up: the whole number part of 4.645, 4, increases by 1 to 5, and the decimal point and all digits (.645) are removed.

4.645 rounded to the nearest whole number = 5

okay. first you must get the properties of a triangle. all three angles are 180 degrees in total. the angle of a straight line is also 180 degrees. both the triangle and the straight line shares the same angle ACB. so you can conclude that 5x-35 = 2x+58

-2x from both sides and 3x-35= 58

so 3x = 58+ 35= 93

x= 31
