Answer: The right answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out the expression

T1; a = 0.3 ------------ (I)

T8; ar^7 = 38.4 ------------ (ii)

Substituting for 'a' in the second equation, we have;

0.3r^7 = 38.4

Divide both sides by 0.3

r^7 = 38.4/0.3

r^7 = 128

r = (128)^1/7

r = 2

Andre45 [30]

Answer: plane A = 333.33mph

Plane B = 500mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Distance between the two planes = 2400miles.

Plane A flew North

Plane B flew south

Solution:

Let v represent plane A.

Let 2v represent plane B.

Distance between the two plane

v + 1.5* v = 3*v

7.5v = 2500miles

v = 333.33mph

Plane B has one and half times the speed of plane A

= 1.5 * 333.33

= 500mph
