Answer:the plane in still air is 904 km/h

the rate of the wind is 104 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate or speed of the plane in still air.

Let y represent the rate or speed of the wind.

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 4000 kilometers in 5 hours. This means that the total speed of the airplane would be (x - y) km/h

Distance = speed × time

Therefore

4000 = 5(x - y)

4000 = 5x - 5y - - - - - - - - -1

Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 5040 kilometers in 4 hours. This means that the total speed of the airplane would be (x + y) km/h. Therefore,

5040 = 4(x + y)

5040 = 4x + 4y - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes

16000 = 20x - 20y

20160 = 20x + 20y

Subtracting, it becomes

- 4160 = - 40y

y = - 4160/-40

y = 104

Substituting y = 104 into equation 1, it becomes

4000 = 5x - 5 × 104

4000 = 5x - 520

5x = 4000 + 520

5x = 4520

x = 4520/5 = 904

What is a product of power?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

To find a power of a product, find the power of each factor and then multiply. In general, (ab)m=am⋅bm. am⋅bm=(ab)m. In other words, you can keep the exponent the same and multiply the bases.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the power of a product rule when there are more than one variables being multiplied together and raised to a power. The power of a product rule tells us that we can simplify a power of a power by multiplying the exponents and keeping the same base.

Find the slope of the graph of y=−45x−2.
andriy [413]

Answer:

The slope in this equation is 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

x = variable

y = mx + b\\y = -45x -2

A zoo has 151515 Emperor penguins. The Emperor penguins make up 30\%30%30, percent of all the penguins at the zoo.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

50 total penguins

Step-by-step explanation:

In the following example x = the total number of penguins.

Set it up as follows.

15 over x = 30 over 100

Cross multiply the numbers. (30 times x) and (15 times 100)

This results in 30x = 1500.

Divide both sides by 30 which results in x = 50.

This means that there is a total of 50 penguins.

In the following example x = the number of Emperor penguins.

If you would like to double check this, set up as follows.

x over 50 = 30 over 100

Cross multiply the numbers. (30 times 50) (100 times x)

This results in 100x = 1500.

Divide both sides by 100 which results in x =1 5.

This means that there are 15 Emperor penguins.
