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.

A worm moves forward 3/8 inch every 5 minutes for 1 hour 25 minutes. How far does the worm move in this time? Explain
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

6 3/8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = distance in 1 hr, 25 minutes (which is 85 minutes)

(3/8 ÷ 5) = x ÷ 85

cross-multiply:

5x = 255/8

40x = 255

x = 6 3/8

Robert owns a doggy hotel. This is like a kennel but much fancier. Last friday the 14th he had 35 dogs that ate 3/8 of a pound o
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

the 7th

0.007805 or  59 / 756

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the Friday that he needed more pounds, determine the number of pounds he needed per dog for each Friday.

to do this, divide the total pounds by the number of dogs

on the 14th

3/8 ÷ 35 =

3/8 x 1/35 = 3/280

on the 7th

1/2 ÷ 27 =

1/2 x 1/27 = 1/54

to determine which fraction is larger multiply each by 100 to determine its percent

3/280 x 100 = 1.071

1/54 x 100 = 1.852

1/54 is larger. Thus, more pounds was needed on Friday the 7th

the difference between these fractions should be determined  

\frac{1}{54} - \frac{3}{280}

\frac{280 - 162}{1512} = \frac{118}{1512} = 59 / 756

Explain the connection between factors, solutions, and x-intercepts.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Factors can be set to zero in order to find the solutions, which are the x-intercepts on a graph.

ex:

x^2 + 4x - 4

(x + 2)(x + 2)

x+2=0

x=-2

x+2=0

x=-2

-2 would be the only x-intercept on the graph.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, thank you
