<h2>Speed of plane = 1110 kmph</h2><h2>Speed of wind = 150 kmph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of plane be p and speed of wind be w.

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 5760 kilometers in 6 hours.

Here

            Speed = (p-w) kmph

            Time = 6 hours

            Distance = 5760 kmph

            Distance = Speed x Time

            5760 = (p-w) x 6

               p-w = 960 -----eqn 1  

Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 6300 kilometers in 5 hours.

Here

            Speed = (p+w) kmph

            Time = 5 hours

            Distance = 6300 kmph

            Distance = Speed x Time

            6300 = (p+w) x 5

               p+w = 1260 -----eqn 2    

eqn 1 + eqn 2

                p-w + p +w =  960 + 1260

                  2p = 2220

                    p = 1110 kmph

Substituting in eqn 2

                1110 + w = 1260

                         w = 150 kmph

Speed of plane = 1110 kmph

Speed of wind = 150 kmph

15. Scott and Tara were asked to find the
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h

we have

b1=16 cm

b2=24 cm

h=8 cm -----> <em>Note</em> The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm

substitute

A=(1/2)[16+24](8)

A=160 cm²

<em>Verify Scott 's work</em>

<em>Note</em> Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)

Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"

so

(24+16)=(16+24)

A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²

<em>Verify Tara's work</em>

<em>Note</em> Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)

A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²

Rewrite each fraction in simplest form using the GCF of the numerator and denominator.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

\sf 6. \quad \dfrac{7}{10}

\sf 7. \quad \dfrac{5}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Question 6</u></h3>

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:

  • 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
  • 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

42 and 60 share one 2 and one 3 in common.

Multiply them together to get the GCF:  2 × 3 = 6.

Therefore, 6 is the GCF of 42 and 60.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

\implies \sf \dfrac{42 \div 6}{60 \div 6}=\dfrac{7}{10}

<h3><u>Question 7</u></h3>

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:

  • 80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
  • 272 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 17

80 and 272 share four 2s in common.

Multiply them together to get the GCF:  2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16.

Therefore, 16 is the GCF of 80 and 272.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

\implies \sf \dfrac{80 \div 16}{272 \div 16}=\dfrac{5}{17}
