Answer:
how should I know?
Step-by-step explanation:
They were without electricity for 47 minutes.....determine the percent of an hr....so 1 hr = 60 minutes.....so they were out 47 out of 60 minutes...
47/60 = 0.783 = 78.3%.....so just type in 78.3 because ur not supposed to include the percent sign
1 gallon = $3 so the ratio would be 1:3 where 1 would represent the gallon and 3 the price
To solve this problem, let us first assign some variables.
Let us say that:
v1 = velocity of airplane = 180 mph
t1 = time travelled by airplane
v2 = velocity of jet = 330 mph
t2 = time travelled by jet
Since we know that distance is the product of velocity and
time, and that the distance travelled by the two must be equal for the jet to
catch up to the plane, hence:
v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
But we know that:
t1 = t2 + 1
Therefore:
180 (t2 + 1) = 330 t2
180 t2 + 180 = 330 t2
150 t2 = 180
t2 = 1.2 hours
<span>Therefore the jet can catch up to the plane after 1.2
hours it takes off.</span>
Proportions are very simple once you get the hang of them! What you do is cross multiple. :)
1. x/8=5/16
You first start by multiplying x and 16
Then multiply 5 and 8
So now you have 16x=40
Finally divide 16 from each side
You get: x+0.4!
2. 5/12=15/x
Remember to cross-multiply!
Now we have 5x=180
Next divide 5 from each side
You get: x=36!
