Answer:

The air speed of the plane is 90 km/hr. and the wind has a speed of 15 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

The plane travels 720 km in 6 hours in the direction of the wind and it takes 8 hours to make the round trip.

If we assume that the speed of the plane is u km/hr. and that of wind is v km/hr.

Therefore, we can write u + v = \frac{720}{6} =120 ........ (1)

And u-v = \frac{720}{8}=90 ..... (2)

If we add those two equations, then 2u = 210, ⇒ u = 105 km/hr.

Again from equation (2), we get v = u - 90 = 105 - 90 = 15 km/hr.

Therefore, the airspeed of the plane is 90 km/hr. and the wind has a speed of 15 km/hr. (Answer)

Dennis stood on a 9 foot ladder to measure the sunflower. How much taller is the tallest sunflower than the ladder?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ladder = 9ft

Tallest\ Sunflower = x

Required

How much taller is the tallest

To get this, we simply calculate the difference between the height of the tallest sunflower and the ladder.

i.e.

Difference  = Tallest\ Sunflower - Ladder

Difference  = x - 9

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If for instance, the tallest is 13ft, then it is 4ft taller.

Because:

Difference = 13ft - 9ft

Difference = 4ft
