we are given

we are given relation between speed and distance

distance ( when speed =70mph) is

=328feet

so, d_1=328

distance ( when speed =50mph) is

=183feet

so, d_2=183

now, we can find percentage in decrease

=\frac{d_1-d_2}{d_1} \times 100

now, we can plug values

=\frac{328-183}{328} \times 100

=44%...........Answer

Lupe can ride her bike at a rate of 20 mph when there is no wind. On one particular day, she rode 2 miles against the wind and n
lana [24]
Let wind speed = x mph 

when she rode 2 miles against the wind we have:-
speed = distance / time so
20 - x  = 2 / t -------(1)      where t is the time she took.

when riding with the wind we have 

20 + x = 3 / t--------(2)   adding equations (1) and (2):-

40  =  2/t + 3/t
40 =  5/t
t = 5/40 = 1/8 hr 

x = 20 - 2 / 1/8  = 20 - 16 = 4

Wind speed was 4 mph Answer

Help please...I don't get this (40 points and I'll give brainliest)
dexar [7]

A x = 0

using the law of exponents a^{0} = 1

for (6² )^ x = 1 then x = 0

B note that 6^{0} = 1 ⇒ x = 1

2 → 2^8 × 3^(-5) × 1^(-2) × 3^(-8) × 2^(-12) × 2^(28)

= 2^(8 -12 + 28) × 1 × 3^(- 5 - 8)

= 2^24 × 3^(- 13) = 2^(24)/3^(13) = 10.523 ( 3 dec. places)

dusya [7]
(x - 8)^2 = 144
take the sq rt of both sides
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20
