A jet’s speed in still air is 240 mph. One day it flew 700 miles with a tailwind (the wind pushing it along) and then returned t

he same distance against the wind. The total flying time was 6 hours. Find the speed of the wind.

Speed of the wind for jet speed in still air 240mph and jet covers 700 miles with tailwind and same distance against the wind in total time of 6 hours is equal to 40mph.

As given in the question,

Given data:

Jet speed in still air = 240mph

Let x be the speed of the wind.

Speed with tail wind = 240 +x

Distance covered with tail wind = 700miles

Time taken by jet with tail wind

= Distance/ speed

= 700 / (240 +x)  __(1)

Speed against the wind = 240 - x

Distance covered against the wind = 700miles

Time taken by jet against the wind

= Distance/ speed

= 700 / (240 - x)  __(2)

Total time taken is 6 hours

[700 / (240 +x)] + [700 / (240 - x)] = 6

⇒ 700( 240 -x + 240 + x) = 6 (240 +x)(240 - x)

⇒ 700 ( 480) = 6 ( 240² -x²)

⇒ 700 (80) = 57600 -x²

⇒ x² = 57600 - 56000

⇒ x² = 1600

⇒ x = √1600

⇒ x= 40 mph

Therefore, speed of the wind for jet speed in still air 240mph and jet covers 700 miles with tailwind and same distance against the wind in total time of 6 hours is equal to 40mph.

What scale factor was applied to the first rectangle to get the resulting image? The answer is a decimal. The big rectangle is 2
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Scale factor is always (new/original)

so it depends which rectangle came first. if it started as large and was dilated to the smaller one, then the ratio is (.5/2.5) which simplifies to 1/5 or 0.2.

Marissa is drawing coins from a bag that contains 5 pennies (yellow), 4 nickels (green), 5 dimes
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25=25\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of coins in the bag = 5 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 16 coins

Number of nickels in the bag = 4

We have to find the probability that Marissa draws a nickels from the bag.

Probability is defined as the ratio of Number of "Favorable Outcomes" to "Total number of possible outcomes"

In this case total number of possible outcomes is the total number of coins which is 16.

Favorable/Desires outcome is drawing a Nickle from the bag which are 4 in number. So, number of favorable outcomes is 4

Therefore, the probability that she will draw a nickel = \frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25=25\%
