PART 1.
Going westward:
Distance: 2400 miles
Rate (this is speed): (450-wind_speed) mph
Time: distance / speed = 2400 / (450-wind speed)
Going eastward:
Distance: 2400 miles
Rate (this is speed): (450+wind_speed) mph
Time: distance / speed = 2400 / (450+wind speed)
PART 2
Formula for speed:
speed = distance / time
Now we solve this for time:
time = distance / speed
11h = 2400 / (450+-wind_speed)
+- sign is put because in one case wind increases speed of plane and in other case it decreases speed.
PART 3
To solve for wind_speed we start by rearranging formula so that we have wind_speed on left side:
(450+-wind_speed) = 2400 / 11
(450+-wind_speed) = 218mph
To fly this distance in 11h speed of plane must be 218mph.
The only way to get this solution is if we substract wind speed:
450-wind_speed = 218
wind_speed = 450-218 = 232mph
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1 gallon only lasts 10 miles, then they would need 20 gallons to get to where they are going. 200/10=20. 20*10=200
Answer:
1. 40 2. t/5 = d
Step-by-step explanation:
Every five minutes he travels 1 mile
200/5 = 40
After 200 minutes he travels 40 miles
t/5 = d
Answer:
A = 64 pi
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumference can be found by
C = 2 * pi *r
16 pi = 2 * pi *r
Divide each side by 2 pi
16 pi/ 2 pi = 2 * pi *r/ 2 pi
8 =r
The radius is 8
To find the area
A = pi r^2
A - pi (8)^2
A = 64 pi
