Considering the direction of the wind, it is found that the ground speed needs to be of 510 knots.

<h3>What is the ground speed?</h3>

The ground speed, considering that the wind is flowing from Wyoming to Colorado, and the same direction as the trip, is given by:

G = Plane speed + Wind speed.

In this problem, we have that the speeds are given as follows:

  • Plane: 400 knots.
  • Wind: 110 knots.

Hence the ground speed is given by:

G = 400 + 110 = 510 knots.

A similar problem, involving plane and wind's speed, is given at brainly.com/question/25547425

The table shows the gallons of water in a pool over time.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

6 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the function that models the quantities of water, Q (in gallons) in a pool over time, t (in minutes), is  

Q = a + bt ........... (1)

Now, Q(t = 0) is given to be 50 gallons.

So, a = 50 and b denotes the rate at which the quantity of water in the pool is decreasing and it is given by the slope of equation (1).

Now, two points on the graph are (0,50) and (1,44).

So, the slope = b =  = - 6 gallons per minute.

Therefore, the equation of this situation is given by Q = 50 - 6t, where the slope is equal to - 6 gallons per minute. (Answer)

Leslie used 20% of a half-gallon (64 ounces) of milk for a recipe. How many ounces of milk were left?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

51.2 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

If its 20% of a 64 ounce half gallon, you just need to find the last 80% of the half gallon. Since you know it is 64 ounces you can divide it by 5 which gives you 12.8. 12.8 would be 20% so you just subtract 12.8 from 64 ounces which gives you 51.2.
