9 hours because 8 x 3 = 24 and 3 x 3 = 9
The trick to solving problems with mixed units is to convert all of them into one unit or another, so:
There are 12 inches in a foot, so 72 inches = 6 feet.
To find the perimeter of a polygon, sum its sides.
Perimeter = 2 + 5 + 6 = 13 feet.
To find the area of a right triangle (which I assume the one in the picture is), we can use the following equation: A = 0.5 * base * height
There are 3 feet to one yard, so 6 feet = 2 yards.
Area = 0.5 * 2 * 1 = 1 yard^2
This angle is "29 degrees 6 minutes 6 seconds".
-- There are 60 minutes in 1 degree.
So 1 minute = 1/60 degree.
-- There are 60 seconds in 1 minute.
So 1 second = 1/60 minute = 1/3600 degree.
29 6' 6" = (29)° + (6/60)° + (6/3600)°
= (29)° + (0.1)° + (0.001666...)°
= 29.101666...°
Rounded to the nearest thousandth of a degree: 29.102°
Answer:
A: 105.6 B: 26.40
Step-by-step explanation:
if you divide 132 by 5, you get Meteorite B, 26.40, then minus that from 132, and you get Meteorite A, 105.6.
To check, do 26.40x5 and you should get 132.
Speed of the plane: 250 mph
Speed of the wind: 50 mph
Explanation:
Let p = the speed of the plane
and w = the speed of the wind
It takes the plane 3 hours to go 600 miles when against the headwind and 2 hours to go 600 miles with the headwind. So we set up a system of equations.

w
600
m

p
+
w
Solving for the left sides we get:
200mph = p - w
300mph = p + w
Now solve for one variable in either equation. I'll solve for x in the first equation:
200mph = p - w
Add w to both sides:
p = 200mph + w
Now we can substitute the x that we found in the first equation into the second equation so we can solve for w:
300mph = (200mph + w) + w
Combine like terms:
300mph = 200mph + 2w
Subtract 200mph on both sides:
100mph = 2w
Divide by 2:
50mph = w
So the speed of the wind is 50mph.
Now plug the value we just found back in to either equation to find the speed of the plane, I'll plug it into the first equation:
200mph = p - 50mph
Add 50mph on both sides:
250mph = p
So the speed of the plane in still air is 250mph.
