I Am Going Ask My teacher. I just screenshot it.
Answer:
20 5/8 yd^2
Step-by-step explanation:
width = 3 3/4 yd
length = 5 1/2 yd
First change both measurements to fractions.
3 3/4 = 3 + 3/4 = 12/4 + 3/4 = 15/4
5 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 10/2 + 1/2 = 11/2
area = length * width
area = 15/4 yd * 11/2 yd
area = (15 * 11)/(4 * 2) yd^2
area = 165/8 yd^2
165/8 = 20 remainder 5
area = 20 5/8 yd^2
let the speed of plane in still air be x and that wind be y
therefore:
x+y=490
x-y=390
next we solve for the values of x and y, first we add the above equations. This will give us:
2x=880
x=880/2
x=440 miles per hour.
substituting the value of x in one of the equations and solving for y we get:
440+y=490
y=490-440
y=50 miles per hour
