Answer: Santa's speed in still air is 6 miles per minute

Speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of Santa in still air. It is assumed that in still air. She is flying with the wind. If the speed of the wind is y, then him total speed is x + y

It takes Santa 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind.

Speed = distance / time

It means that

x + y = 35/5 = 7

It takes him 7 minutes to fly 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed will be x - y

Speed = distance/time. Therefore,

x - y = 35 /5 = 5 - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7 - y - y = 5

-2y = 5 - 7 = -2

y = -2/-2 = 1

x = 7 - y = 7 - 1

x = 6

Take the following numbers and calculate the mean, median and mode. 75, 65, 70, 70, 55, 40, 55, 70, 65
emmainna [20.7K]

1. mean

To solve for mean, add all the numbers, and divide by the amount of numbers there is.

(75 + 65 + 70 + 70 + 55 + 40 + 55 + 70 + 65)/9 = 565/9 = 62 7/9 (a. 62.8)

2. Median

To solve for median, reorder all numbers from least to greatest, and the middle number is your median.

40, 55, 55, 65, 65, 70, 70 , 70, 75

Middle number is bolded

40, 55, 55, 65, 65, 70, 70, 70, 75

(b. 65)

3. Mode

To solve for mode, find out which number shows up the most.

(c. 70) shows up once more than the next number that has the most (55 & 65, which both have 2)
