Answer:

1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not know the number let us use the alphabet A to represent the unknown number

A × 1/3= 1/21

A/3= 1/21

Cross multiply both sides

A×21= 3×1

21A= 3

Divide both sides by the coefficient of A which is 21

21A/21=3/21

A=1/7

Hence the unknown number is 1/7

Answer:

The number to multiply with 1/3 to get 1/21 is 1/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question wants us to find the number you can multiply with 1/3 to get 1/21. The number is unknown but when you multiply that unknown number by 1/3 your answer should be 1/21.

Let

the number to be multiplied with = a

Therefore,

1/3 × a = 1/21

a/3 = 1/21

cross multiply

21a = 3

divide both sides by 21

a = 3/21

a = 1/7

The number to multiply with 1/3 to get 1/21 is 1/7.

at maximum speed , an airplane travels 1680 miles against the wind in 5 hours flying with the wind , the plane can travel the sa
Westkost [7]
X = velocity of plane
y = velocity of wind

x - y = 1680/5 = 336 mph .....(1) [ plane flying against the wind]
&
x + y = 1680/4 = 420 mph....(2) [ plane flying with the wind]

Adding (1) and (2) to eliminate y gives

2x = 756
x = 378 mph is the speed of the plane with no wind.
