Answer: The airplane can fly 124.8 miles in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a small airplane flew 104 miles in 50

minutes.

We are to find the number of miles that the airplane can fly in one hour.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

We have

$60~\textup{minutes}=1~\textup{hour}\\\\\Rightarrow 50~\textup{minutes}=\dfrac{1}{60}\times50=\dfrac{5}{6}~\textup{hour}.$

In $\dfrac{5}{6}$ hours, number of miles flew by the airplane = 104 miles.

So, in 1 hour, number of miles flew by the airplane is

$\dfrac{104}{\frac{5}{6}}=\dfrac{624}{5}=124.8.$

Thus, the airplane can fly 124.8 miles in 1 hour.

124.8 miles. 104/50=2.08. 2.08x60=124.8.

Find the exact value of x

ΔABC and ΔCBD are similar. Therefore we have the proportion:

$\dfrac{AB}{BC}=\dfrac{BC}{BD}\\\\AB=6;\ BC=x;\ BD=2$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{6}{x}=\dfrac{x}{2}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$(x)(x)=(6)(2)\\\\x^2=12\to x=\sqrt{12}\\\\x=\sqrt{4\cdot3}\\\\x=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt3\\\\\boxed{x=2\sqrt3}$

The probability that Hamid guesses both answers correctly is 10%.

Since Hamid is playing a trivia game with multiple choice questions, and each question has 2 correct answers among 5 answer choices, and Hamid has no idea what the answers to a certain question are, so he needs to choose two different answers at random, to determine what is the probability that Hamid guesses both answers correctly the following calculation must be performed:
