The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.

After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.

Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==>    A² + B² = C²

(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²

250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500

1,690,000 H² = 422,500

H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25

H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes

1.5/4x+1=0.4/x+4 PLEASE HELP ITS PROPORTIONS
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal

Given the equation:  \frac{1.5}{4x+1} = \frac{0.4}{x+4}

By cross multiply we get;

1.5(x+4) = 0.4(4x+1)

Using distributive property; a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c

1.5x + 6= 1.6x + 0.4

Subtract 0.4 from both sides we get;

1.5x +5.6= 1.6x

Subtract 1.5x from both sides we get;

5.6= 0.1x

Divide both sides by 0.1 we get;

x = \frac{5.6}{0.1}

Simplify:

x = 56

Therefore, the value of x that satisfy the equation \frac{1.5}{4x+1} = \frac{0.4}{x+4} is, 56

A 15 ounce alloy containing 30% gold was mixed with an alloy containing 5% gold to get an alloy containing 20% gold. How many ou
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

4.5 % alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amt of 30% alloy

The resulting total is to be 25 oz, therefore:

(25-x) = amt of 5% alloy:

A typical mixture equation:

.30x + .05(25-x) = .20(25)

.30x + 1.25 - .05x = 5 .30x - .05x = 5 - 1.25

.25x = 3.75

x = 3.75%2F.25

x = 15 oz of 30% alloy required

then

25-15 = 10 oz of 5% alloy:

Check solution

.30(15) + .05(10) = .20(25)

4.5 + .5 = 5
