Answer:

a.) the average speed of the aircraft in miles per hour

115.76 miles/ hour

b.) the fuel consumption in miles per pound of fuel

(assume a density of 0.70 g/mL for the fuel.)

2.8 miles/Ib of fuel

Step-by-step explanation:

A press release describing the 1986 nonstop, round-the-world trip by the aircraft voyager including the following data:

flight distance: 25,012 miles

flight time: 9 days, 3 min., 44 seconds

fuel capacity: nearly 9000 lbs.

fuel remaining at the end of flight: 14 gal.

To the maximum number of significant figure permitted, calculate:

a.) the average speed of the aircraft in miles per hour

Step 1

We convert the time to hours

flight time: 9 days, 3 min., 44 seconds

1 day = 24 hours

9 days =

24 × 9

= 216 hours

60 mins = 1 hour

3 mins =

3/60 = 1/20 = 0.05 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

If 3600 seconds = 1 hour

44 seconds =

= 44/3600

= 0.0122222222 hours

Total number of hours spent = (216 + 0.05 + 0.0122222222) hours

= 216.06222222 hours

Speed = Distance/Time

= flight distance: 25,012 miles

Speed = 25,012 miles/ 216.06222222hours

= 115.76294895 miles/ hour

Approximately = 115.76 miles/ hour

b.) the fuel consumption in miles per pound of fuel

(assume a density of 0.70 g/mL for the fuel.)

Step 1

We determine how much fuel is used

We have 14 gallons of fuel left over

1 gallon = 3.785 litres

14 gallons =

Cross Multiply

14 gallons × 3.785 liters/1 gallon

= 52.9958 liters

Note that density of fuel =

0.70 g/ml

1 gram / millilitre = 1 kilogram / litre

Hence, 0.7g/ml = 0.7 kg/L

Hence,the mass of fuel left = 52.9958 liters * 0.7 = 37.09706kg

1 kilogram = 2.205 pounds

37.09706kg =

37.09706kg × 2.205 pounds

= 81.7990173 lbs

Since the full capacity = 9000 lbs

The fuel used = 9000 - 81.7990173 lbs

= 8918.2009827 lbs

Hence, fuel consumption is

Distance/ amount of fuel used

25012/8918.2009827 lbs = 2.8046015164 miles/lb of fuel

Approximately = 2.8 miles/Ib of fuel

GIVING 100 POINTS!!!!
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

As per dot plots we see the distribution of prices is close but majority of prices are concentrated in different zones. So MAD would be more similar by the look.

<u>Let's verify</u>

<h3>Neighborhood 1</h3>

<u>Data</u>

  • 55, 55, 60, 60, 70, 80, 80, 80, 90, 120

<u>Mean</u>

  • (55*2+ 60*2+ 70+ 80*3 + 90+ 120)/10 = 75

<u>MAD</u>

  • (20*2+15*2+5+5*3+15+45)/10 = 15
<h3>Neighborhood 2</h3>

<u>Data</u>

  • 100, 110, 110, 110, 120, 120, 120, 140, 150, 160

<u>Mean</u>

  • (100 + 110*3+ 120*3+ 140 + 150+ 160)/10 = 124

<u>MAD</u>

  • (24+14*3+4*3+16*3+16+26+36)/10 = 20.4

As we see the means are too different (75 vs 124) than MADs (15 vs 20.4).

Express in the form 1:n give n as a decimal 8:6
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: 8.6:8.6

Explanation:

1:n is the form you want.

n is 8.6. change the n value so it is 1:8.6

1 is 1 times bigger than 8.6

8.6 times 1 is 8.6

so you've got 8.6:8.6

your welcome, i hope this helps
