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.

What is the first step to converting from a fraction to a decimal ?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

To convert a fraction into a decimal, divide the top number by the bottom number. What about with denominators that don't divide into 10, 100 or 1000, such as 7? You still divide the denominator into the numerator, no matter what the numbers are.

Step-by-step explanation:
