Answer:

The speed of plane is 378 mph in still air.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the maximum speed of the plane.

Let y be the speed of the wind.

Distance an airplane travels = 1680 miles against the wind in 5 hours

So, equation  becomes,

\frac{1680}{5}=x-y or x-y=336      .....(1)

And with the wind, equation becomes,

\frac{1680}{4}=x+y or x+y=420    .... (2)

Solving both equations, we get;

2x=756

x = 378

And x+y=420

y=420-378=42

Hence, the speed of plane is 378 mph and the speed of wind is 42 mph.

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.

In a race 24 out of 25 cyclists finished in less than 51 minutes what percentage of cyclists finished the race in less then 51 m
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: 96%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 25 total cyclists and 24 of those finished the race in less than 51 minutes. The question would like this 24 to be expressed as a percentage of 25.

In percentage this would be:

= Number of cyclists who finished in 51 minutes / Total number of cyclists * 100%

= 24 / 25 * 100%

= 96%

If the first number is increased by 7 and the second number is reduced by 6 times, the sum of these numbers is 29.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

First number = 20

Second number = 12

Explanation:

Let the 1st number be x

Let the 2nd number be y

=====================

Condition 1

\sf \rightarrow  x + 7 + \dfrac{y}{6}  = 29

\rightarrow \sf x=-\dfrac{y}{6}+22

=====================

Condition 2

\rightarrow \sf 2y - (x - 5) = 9

\rightarrow \sf x = 2y -4

=====================

Substitute equations

\rightarrow \sf  -\dfrac{y}{6}+22 = 2y-4

\rightarrow \sf y=12

=====================

Find value of 1st number

\rightarrow \sf x = 2y - 4

\sf \rightarrow x = 2(12) - 4

\rightarrow \sf x = 20
