Find how many 1/24's are in 1/2:

1/2 / 1/24 = 1/2 * 24/1 = 24/2 = 12

There are 12 1/24's in 1/2.

Multiply 5/12 by 12:

5/12 * 12 = (5*12) /12 = 60/12 = 5

It will be 5 gallons.

Answer:

5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

5/12 gallon        x gallons

----------------  = -------------------

1/24 minute       1/2 minute

Using cross products

5/12 * 1/2 = x *1/24

5/24 = x/24

Multiply each side by 24

24*5/24 = x/24*24

5=x

We can pump 5 gallons

A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota- a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into a head win
frutty [35]

Answer:

1.) 120 mph

2.) 30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota- a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into a head wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1.2 hours. What is the planes speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing?

Let the wind speed = w

and the plane speed = p

From the first sentence,

P - w = 180/ 2

P - w = 90 ....... ( 1 )

From the second statement,

P + w = 180/1.2

P+ w = 150 ...... ( 2 )

Solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously

P + w = 150

P - w = 90

Add the two equations

2P = 240

P = 120 mph

Substitute p in equation 1

W = 150 - 120

W = 30

Therefore, the wind speed is 30 mph and the plane speed is 120 mph

Solve this equation for b. (3+2)-b=1
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, 3 + 2 = 5

This can be substituted to 5 - b = 1

Subtract 5 from both sides leaving -b = -4

We don't want be to be negative so we divide the imaginary -1 that's in front of the b from both sides

This leaves b = 4
