<h3>Answer:    2.5 hours</h3>

This is equivalent to 2 hours, 30 minutes

=========================================

Explanation:

x = number of hours

Let's say we have two plans A and B. Plane A travels 540 km/hr and let's make it travel eastward. Plane B would travel the opposite direction (west) at 520 km/hr.

After x hours, plane A travels 540x kilometers. Plane B travels 520x km after the same amount of time, since it takes off at the same time plane A does.

In total, the distance between the two planes after x hours is 540x+520x = 1060x kilometers.

Set this equal to 2650 and solve for x

1060x = 2650

1060/1060 = 2650/1060 ... divide both sides by 1060

x = 2.5

It takes 2.5 hours for the two planes to be 2650 km apart.

--------

side note:

2.5 hrs = 2 hrs + 0.5 hrs

2.5 hrs = 2 hrs + (0.5 hrs)*(60 min/1 hr)

2.5 hrs = 2 hrs + 30 min

2.5 hrs = 2 hrs, 30 min

If 80% of scheduled flights actually take place and cancellations are independent events, what is the probability that 3 separat
Mekhanik [1.2K]

 

We are given that 80% of scheduled flights really take place, therefore this means that:

Probability of flying = 80% = 0.80

 

Now in statistics class, we know that the probability of two or more independent events to occur is simply equivalent to the product of their probabilities, or mathematically written as: (P = Probability)

total P = P1 * P2 * P3 *...

 

In this case, since we are to find for the probability that 3 independent flights will occur, therefore the total probability assuming equal probabilities to fly is:

total probability = 0.80 * 0.80* 0.80

total probability = 0.512

or

total probability = 51.20%

 

This means that there is only a 51.20% chance for 3 flights to occur.
