Answer: 1/2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

Altitude (miles) - - - - - - - - - - distance (miles)

3 1/2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 250

2 1/2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 175

Calculate the plane's altitude at 25miles from the airport

7/2 = 250

5/2 = 175

(7/2 - 5/2) miles = (250 - 175)miles

1 mile = 75 miles

From the above, the plane craft 's altitude reduces by 1 mile for every 75 miles moved

Therefore, at a distance of 25 mile from the airport,

Distance moved = (250 - 25)miles = 225miles

225miles / 75 miles = 3

Therefore, the altitude will reduce by 3 miles from the initial altitude at 250 miles

Therefore,

( 3 1/2 - 3) miles = 1/2 miles

Therefore, the plane craft will have an altitude of 1/2

Estimate a 15% tip on a dinner bill of $31.81 by first rounding the bill amount to the nearest ten dollars
Hatshy [7]

Answer: $36.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 15% to decimals. You can do this by dividing by 100.

\frac{15}{100}=0.15

Now calculate 15% of 31.81 (0.15*31.81)

$4.77

if you add it to the bill you get 31.81+4.77=36.58

it says round to the nearest ten dollars=36.60
