Let's say the speed of the plane is "p", and the speed of the wind is "w".

when the plane goes with the wind, is not really going "p" mph fast, is really going "p + w" mph fast, because the wind is adding speed to it.

likewise when the plane is going against the wind, is also not going "p" fast is going "p - w" mph fast.  Therefore,

\bf \begin{cases}
p+w=460\implies \boxed{w}=460-p \\
p-w=400\\
----------\\
p-\left( \boxed{460 - p} \right)=400
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
2p-460=400\implies 2p=860\implies p=\cfrac{860}{2}\implies p=430

lesya [120]

Answer:

All of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

-185/100 is equal to -1.85.

-1.08 is greater because it is closer to 0 than -1.85.

190/100 is equal to 1.9. That's greater because it's in the positives.

-35/20 is equal to -1.75, which is closer to 0 than -1.85.

Therefore, all of the options are greater.

What is the probability that a student selected at random is a boy?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Pr(B) = 0.69

Pr(J/B) = 0.35

Pr(J∩B) = 0.14

Pr(G/J') = 0.66

Pr(G) = 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

Pr = possible outcome (a)/Total outcome(t)

(1) Pr(B) = a/t............ Equation 1

From the diagram

Given: a = 220+65+35 = 320, t = 220+65+35+145 = 465

Substitute these values into equation 1

Pr(B) = 320/465

Pr(B) = 0.69

(2) Pr(J/B) = (35+65)/(220+65)

Pr(J/B) = 100/285

Pr(J/B) = 0.35

(3) Pr(J∩B) = 65/465

Pr(J∩B) = 0.14

(4) Pr(G/J') = 145/220

Pr(G/J') = 0.66

(5) Pr(G) = 145/465

Pr(G) = 0.31
