The solution for this problem is:
Let x = speed of wind

Speed of plane with the wind = x + 100

Speed of plane against the wind = 100 -x 

 We will be using the formula for distance which is (Rate)(Time), getting the formula for time would be distance/rate Time to travel 600 miles with the wind = Time to travel 400 miles against the wind 600/(x + 100) = 400/(100 - x)

 400(x + 100) = 600(100 - x)

 400x + 40000 = 60000 - 600x

 1000x = 20000

x = 20000/1000

 x = 20 mph

Bridget is in science class. Her teacher gives her two unknown substances and asks her to determine their relative pH. She place
agasfer [191]
Litmus paper is often used to determine the range of pH of an aqueous solution. Litmus paper specifically contains 10-15 natural dyes, in the presence of acidic solution it turns red, it turns purple when the solution is neutral and blue when dealing with basic solutions. Red litmus paper stays red for a neutral and acidic solution but changes to blue in the presence of alkaline solutions. On the other hand, blue litmus paper turns red when a solution is acidic but stays blue for neutral and alkaline solutions. Since the paper turns purple in the presence of solution 1 we know that is neutral, meanwhile, since it turns blue for the second solution we know that solution II is a base correct answer is C
