Answer:

The speed rate of the plane in still air is 1006.67 km/h

The speed rate of the wind is 246.67 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, we let the speed of the plane in still air = x  km/h

Let the speed of the wind = y km/h

Therefore,

4560/(x - y) = 6 hours and

3720/(x + y) = 3 hours

4560 = 6·x - 6·y.........(1)

3720 = 3·x + 3·y ........(2)

Multiplying equation (2) by 2 and add to (1) gives

12080 = 12·x

x = 12080/12 = 1006\frac{2}{3} km/h

Substituting the value of x in (1) gives

4560 = 6040 - 6·y

6·y = 1480

y = 1480/6 =  246\frac{2}{3}

The speed rate of the plane in still air = 1006.67 km/h

The speed rate of the wind = 246.67 km/h.

Mazyrski [523]
     We know that the fence is 52 <em>feet</em> long, but since it's sold in yards, we need to somehow convert feet to yards.
     First, we need to find a little something called a conversion factor. Basically, we need to see what we can do to get from <em>one foot</em> to <em>one yard</em>. 
Well, how many feet are there in a yard? <em><u>3.</u></em><u /><u /> So now we know that <em><u>one foot is 1/3 of a yard.</u>
</em>     
So to convert 52ft to yards, we need to divide by 3. What's 52 divided by 3? 
17.33.
Now we just need to multiply that by 10.99 so that we can find out the cost.
We get 190.45. That's your answer!

It all cost <em>$190.45
</em>

The mean number of people per day in August = 160 + 20 = 180
