Answer:

170 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the plane's speed.

If the car travels 110 mph slower than the plane, then the car's speed is x - 110 mph.

<u>Plane:</u>

Speed = x mph

Distance = 1,020 miles

Time = t hours

1,020=x\cdot t\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{1,020}{x}

<u>Car:</u>

Speed = x - 110 mph

Distance = 360 miles

Time = t hours

360=(x-110)t\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{360}{x-110}

A plane can fly 1020 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 360 miles, so

\dfrac{1,020}{x}=\dfrac{360}{x-110}

Cross multiply:

1,020(x-110)=360x\\ \\102(x-110)=36x\\ \\102x-11,220=36x\\ \\102x-36x=11,220\\ \\66x=11,220\\ \\x=170

A spinner with 6 equally sized slices has 1 blue slice, 2 red slices, and 3 yellow slices. The dial is spun and stops on a slice
Darya [45]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

sample space

1 blue slice,

2 red slices, and

3 yellow slices

sample size= 1+2+3= 6

Required:

The probability that the dial stops on a blue or red slice

1. The probability that the dial stops on a blue = 1/6

2. The probability that the dial stops on a red= 2/6= 1/3

Hence The probability that the dial stops on a blue or red= 1/6+1/3

= 1+2/6

=3/6

=1/2

What is the slope-intercept form of the function described by this table?
Vikentia [17]
Y=5x - 3 Because the difference in the y values are 5, the rise is 5. That is the TOP of the slope. The difference in the x values is 1, that is the run or the BOTTOM of the slope. So m = 5/1. Using y = mx + b 2 = 5(1) + b -3 = b Therefore, y = 5x -3
