Answer:

350 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time it took the plane to descend is 3 hours 14 minutes minus 1 hour 30 minutes.

This means it took 104 minutes for the plane to descend 36,400 feet.

Dividing 36400 by 104, you get 350 which is the average rate of descent in feet per minute.

the variable Z is invery proportional to X. when X is 3, Z has the value 6. what is the value of Z when X = 12

MrMuchimi

"inversely proportional," please.

z = k/x

When x is 3, z = 6; find k: 6 = k/3, or k = 18.

Then z = 18/x. When x = 12, z = 18/12 = 2/3 (answer)

Jane is building eight 3-legged stools. Each leg is 1/2 yard long. She can cut the legs from wooden rods that are sold in 2-yard

jonny [76]

Answer:

$n = 6\,rods$

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of legs needed to build the stools are:

$x = (8) \cdot (3)$

$x = 24$

Likewise the total length of the legs is:

$L_{tot} = 24\cdot (0.5\,yd)$

$L_{tot} = 12\,yd$

Lastly, the quantity of rods that needed to buy is:

$n = \frac{12\,yd}{2\,\frac{yd}{rod} }$

$n = 6\,rods$
