<u>Answer:</u>

The speed of plane is 875 km/h and speed of wind is 125 km/hr

<u>Explanation: </u>

Assuming v the speed of plane and w the speed of wind

Then, the overall speed will be given as (v+w)

The speed is calculated by the formula;

$\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Time }}$

For tailwind, given distance travelled is 3000 km in 3 hrs

Putting the values in the formula;

(v+w) =  $\frac{3000}{3}$

(v+w) = 1000              ……eqn (1)

Similarly, for headwind, given distance travelled is 3000 km in 4 hrs

(v-w) =  $\frac{3000}{4}$

(v-w) = 750   ……eqn (2)

Adding (1) and (2), we get

2v = 1750

v = 875 km/hr

putting value in eqn (1), we get: w = 125  km/hr

Therefore, the speed of plane is 875 km/h and speed of wind is 125 km/hr.

Amy and Mary are playing a board game that uses game money if $5 and $10. At the end of the game, Amy has n bills worth $5 each
loris [4]

Answer:

5n + 10d represented the money spend by the Amy in playing board games  of cost $5 and $10 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Amy and Mary are playing a board game that uses game money if $5 and $10.

At the end of the game, Amy has n bills worth $5 each and d bills worth $10 each .

Total amount of n bills = 5n

Total amount of  d bills = 10d

Thus

Total money spend by the Amy in playing board games = Total amount of n bills + Total amount of  d bills

                                                                                             = 5n + 10d

Therefore  5n + 10d represented the money spend by the Amy in playing board games  of cost $5 and $10 .

June runs a little slower than Carlos. She ran 1/4 of a mile in 3 minutes. How long will it take her to run a full mile?
Lady bird [3.3K]
Alright my friend so if she ran 1/4 a mile in just 3 minutes then her overall time will be 12 minutes because she still has 3 more to go so basically it'll be 3 x 4 = 12

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

y = 2x + 54

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of equation:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (72-58)/(9-2)

= 14/7

= 2

y = 2x + b

58 = 2(2) + b

58 = 4 + b

b = 54
