Answer:
a. 100 mph
b. 500 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
Let the speed of Lindbergh's plane be x.
Today's planes are 5 times faster, so their speed is 5x.
Today's planes speed is 400 mph faster than Lindbergh's speed.
x + 400 = 5x
5x = x + 400
4x = 400
x = 100
Lindbergh's speed was 100 mph
b. 5x = 5 * 100 = 500
Today's planes fly at 500 mph
Answer:
33 1/3 percent smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.
a = b + b*.5
a = b(1.5)
Divide by 1.5
a/1.5 = b
2/3a =b
We want to find (a-b)/a to find the percent decrease
(a-2/3a)/a *100percent
(1/3a)/a* 100 percent
1/3 * 100 percent
33 1/3 percent smaller

Answer:
2.6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
At each point, there is a loss of 20% (since it flies to 80%)
a) 8 - 20% of 8
= 8-1.6 = 6.4
b) 6.4 - 20% of 6.4
= 5.12
c) 5.12 - 20% of 5.12
4.096
d) 4.096 - 20% of 4.096
3.2768
e) 3.2768 - 20% of 3.2768
= 2.62144 feet
