Answer:

894.19 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance of the trip = 3990 mi

Let the speed of the sound be 'x' miles per hour

Now,

Total distance = Speed × Time

Therefore,

According to the question

3,990 mi = [ ( x - 120 ) × 0.1 ] + [ ( x + 410 ) × 3.0 ]

or

3,990 mi = 0.1x - 12 + 3x + 1230

or

0.1x + 3x = 2772

or

3.1x = 2772

or

x = 894.19 mi/hr

The table below lists the masses and volumes of several pieces of the same type of metal. There is a proportional relationship b
castortr0y [4]
 
<span>∵ There is a proportional relationship between the mass and the volume of the places of metal.
Let volume = v and mass = m
So, the relation between volume and mass will take the form:
        v = km
where k is constant and can be calculated as follow:
when m = </span><span>34.932 , and v = 4.1   ⇒⇒⇒ k = v/m = 0.117371
</span>when m = 47.712<span> , and v = 5.6   ⇒⇒⇒ k = v/m = </span>0.117371
when m = 61.344 , and v = 7.2   ⇒⇒⇒ k = v/m = <span>0.117371
when m = </span>99.684 , and v = 11.7  ⇒⇒⇒ k = v/m = <span>0.117371

∴ v = 0.117371 m
</span>
For  v =<span>15.3
∴ m = v/k = 15.3/0.117371 = 130.356 </span><span>gram

</span>The mass of a piece of this metal that has a volume of 15.3 cubic centimeters ≈ 130.4 gram (<span>round to the nearest tenth</span>)
