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.

When a decimal is written in word form, what indicates whether the number can be written as a mixed number or as a fraction less
vekshin1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  "and"

Step-by-step explanation:

Properly written, the word "and" separates the integer portion from the fractional portion of the number. If there is no "and", then there is no integer portion, so the number is a fraction less than 1.

<u>Examples</u>:

one <em>and</em> three tenths = 1 3/10

thirty-one thousandths = 31/1000
