Let p and w represent the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind, respectively.
.. speed = distance/time
.. p +w = 720/3 = 240
.. p -w = 720/4 = 180

Add the two equations to eliminate w.
.. 2p = 420
.. p = 210
.. w = p -180 = 30

The speed of the wind is 30 mph.
The speed of the plane in still air is 210 mph.

On the way home from her friend's house Sandy skateboards 30% of the way, walks 1/2 of the way, and then skips the rest of the w
netineya [11]

Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the walking to percent

\frac{1}{2} \times 100 = 50

Add both skateboarding and walking

30\% + 50\%\\\\= 30 + 50\\\\= 80

Now, subtract that from a whole percent

100 - 80 = 20\\\\20\%

Convert it to a decimal

20\% = \frac{20}{100} \\\\=20 \div 100\\\\= 0.2

Therefore, in decimal, 0.2 is the number that shows the portion of the distance Sandy skips.

Solve the equation. Check your solution. (1/2 is a fraction for one half <br> s-1/2=1/2
Alchen [17]

Answer:

s = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

s - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Required

Solve for s

s - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Add \frac{1}{2} to both sides

s - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

Take LCM

s + \frac{-1+1}{2}  = \frac{1+1}{2}

s + \frac{0}{2}  = \frac{2}{2}

s +0  = 1

s = 1
