The speed of the plane is 200 mph.

We start out with the formula d=rt, where d is distance, r is rate (speed) and t is time.  We know the time is the same for both vehicles, so we will solve this formula for t:

d=rt

Divide both sides by r:
d/r = t

Since the time is the same, we will have a proportion in the form

d/r = d/r

The speed of the car is x, and it travels 150 miles.  The speed of the plane is 150 faster than x, or x+150, and it travels 600 miles:

150/x = 600/(x+150)

Cross multiplying we have:
150(x+150) = 600*x
150x + 22500 = 600x

Subtract 150x from both sides:
150x + 22500 - 150x = 600x - 150x
22500 = 450x

Divide both sides by 450:
22500/450 = 450x/450
50 = x

The speed of the car is 50, and the speed of the plane is 50+150 = 200

Answer:

  4. 11/6, 121/36

  5. 5/8, 25/64

  6. 4/7, 16/49

  7. 14/9, 196/81

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of perimeters is the same as the ratio of corresponding legs:

  perimeter ratio = red leg/blue leg

The area ratio is the square of that:

  area ratio = (perimeter ratio)²

__

<h3>4.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 11/6

area ratio = (11/6)² = 121/36

__

<h3>5.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 5/8

area ratio = (5/8)² = 25/64

__

<h3>6.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 4/7

area ratio = (4/7)² = 16/49

__

<h3>7.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 14/9

area ratio = (14/9)² = 196/81

It takes Bruce 12 h to complete his training. It takes Oliver approximately 2 days, 2 h, and 15 min to complete
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Oliver completed his training work in 50.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1 day= 24 hours

1 hour=60 minutes

we have

2 days, 2 h, and 15 min

<u><em>Convert days to hours</em></u>

2 days=2(24)=48 hours

<u><em>Convert minutes to hour</em></u>

15 min=15(1/60)=1/4=0.25 h

so

2 days, 2 h, and 15 min=(48)+(2)+(0.25)=50.25 h

therefore

Oliver completed his training work in 50.25 hours
