A flight from Boston to London only took 5 hours because of a strong tailwind. The flight back to Boston against the same wind took 6 hours. What was the speed of the wind if the speed of the plane in still air is 550 mph?

Answers

Answer 1

If the flight back to Boston against the same wind took 6 hours. The speed of the wind if the speed of the plane in still air is 550 mph is 50 mph.

How to find the speed of the plane?

Given data:

Boston to London = 5 hours

Flight back to Boston  = 6 hours

Still air = 550 mph

Using this formula

Speed (s) = Distance /Time

We need to formula an equation that will be used to find the speed

Equation: (550 + s)5 = (550 - s)6

So,

Let s represent the speed

(550 + s)5 = (550 - s)6

2750 +5s = 3300 - 6s

Collect like terms

6s +5s = 3300 - 2750

11s = 3300 - 2750

11s = 550

Divide both side by  11s

s= 550/11

s = 50mph

Therefore the speed of the plane is 50mph.

Bob eats 1/3 of a watermelon one day and 3/8 of it the next day.
a) which day did bob ate more watermelon, first or second?

b) Find the fraction of the watermelon that remains.

Answers

Answer:

A) Second, as 3/8 is larger than 1/3.

B) 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 put as a decimal is 0.375. 1/3 is 0.3333 which means that 3/8 is greater than 1/3.

9/24 is another way to write 3/8. 8/24 is another way to write 1/3. 9 + 8 is 17. 17/24 has been eaten. Therefore, 7/24 remains.

The equation of the line is y = (2/5)x - 1/5 which passes through the points (-2, 1) and (3, 3).

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of a line is defined as the angle of the line.

Given that line passes through the points (-2, 1) and (3, 3)

Let the required line would be y - y₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ -x₁ )[x -x₁]

x₁ = -2, y₁ = 1

x₂ = 3, y₂ = 3

⇒ y - y₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ -x₁ )[x -x₁]

Substitute values in the equation, we get

⇒ y - 1 = (3 - 1)/(3-(-2))[x -(-2)]

⇒ y - 1 = (2)/(5)[x+2]

⇒ y - 1 = 2/5(x -3)

⇒ y = (2/5)x - 6/5 + 1

⇒ y = (2/5)x - 1/5

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = (2/5)x - 1/5 which passes through the points (-2, 1) and (3, 3).

Lizzy makes $1800 per month working in a nail Spa. And Jackie makes 1500 per month plus 20%
a
percent commission per service per costumer. How many nail services Jackie has to complete per
month in order to make as much as Lizzy does?

Answers

Based on the amount Lizzy makes per month, to reach that amount, Jackie would have to complete 75 nail services.

The difference between Lizzy's base salary and Jackie's is:

= 1,800 - 1,500

= $300

Assuming a nail service costs $20, the amount she makes per service is:

= 20% x 20

= $4

The number of nail services she needs to do is therefore:

= Difference in wages / Amount per service

= 300 / 4

= 75 nail services

In conclusion, Jackie needs to do 75 nail services.

Answers

Answer: 24.5 m² ( area)

Step-by-step explanation:

See , Total area of wall is given - length , 6m - width/breadth , 5m

          so , Area of total wall = l x b = 6*5 = 30m²

so , there is a window whose length is 2 meters and breadth/width of 0.5m

         so , Area of window = l x b = 1m²

So , area of door  = length , 3 - Width/breadth- 0.5 m²

        So , Area of door = 3* 1.5 = 4.5

Then the question wants us to find the area of the wall without counting window and door . So we can subtract the area of door and window from the area of the whole wall to get the area of the wall without the window and door .

= total area of wall - area of window and door

30m²-1m²-4.5

So as a result , we get a total area of the wall without the window and door to be painted as  24.5m²

What is a reasonable estimate for the subtraction equation 3.2 − 1.4 = ________ when you round each number to the nearest whole number? (2 points)
1
1.5
2
2.5

Answers

Answer:

Hello!

After reviewing the question you have provided, I came up with the correct answer:

C) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly:

As the question states, you need to round each number to the nearest whole number and then choose the closest estimate to what the nearest solution could be.

When you round the two numbers you should come up with "3-1= ____".

This is because you round up with a number has .5 or higher, and you round down when any number has .4 or lower.

So 3.2 rounds to 3

And 1.4 rounds to 1.

With the new equation you can then solve "3-1= 2"!

Answer:

16.49%

Step-by-step explanation:

0.97+16.49%=1.129953

The percentage increase is 16.49%

How to find the percentage from the total value?

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100)

We are given that the price of a newspaper increased from $0.97 to $1.13

WE need to find the percentage increase.​

Therefore,

Intital price = 0.97 ( 1.13 - 0.07)

= 0.16 / 0.97 x 100

= 16/0.97

= 16.49
