Answer:his speed in still air is 6 miles per minute.

the speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent his speed in still air.

Let y represent the speed of the wind.

It takes Jack Frost 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind. This means that his total speed would be x + y

Distance = speed × time

It means that

35 = 5(x + y)

35 = 5x + 5y - - - - - - - - - - -1

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

It means that

35 = 7(x - y)

35 = 7x - 7y - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes

245 = 35x + 35y

175 = 35x - 35y

Adding both equations, it becomes

420 = 70x

x = 420/70 = 6

Substituting x = 6 into equation 1, it becomes

35 = 5 × 6 + 5y

35 = 30 + 5y

5y = 35 - 30 = 5

y = 5/5 = 1

Write 0.00605 in scientific notation.
vichka [17]
How many jumps is it from the decimal point to the position to the right of the 6

The answer to that is 3 jumps.  Since the move of the decimal made the number larger than it really is, it will take a negative value to put it back where it belongs.

So A) is the correct answer.  It is in scientific notation and if you move the decimal back 3 place you get the number you stared with.

Put these points into an equation IN STANDARD FORM!!!!!!<br><br>(0,2) and (8,0)
zubka84 [21]

The equation of the line in standard form is x + 4y = 8

<h3>How to determine the line equation?</h3>

From the question, the points are given as

(0, 2) and (8, 0)

To start with, we must calculate the slope of the line

This is calculated using

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Where

(x, y) = (0, 2) and (8, 0)

Substitute the known parameters in Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

So, we have

Slope = (0 - 2)/(8 - 0)

Evaluate

Slope = -1/4

The equation of the line can be calculated using as

y - y₁ = m(x + x₁)

Where

(x₁, y₁) = (0, 2)

and

m = slope = -1/4

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

y - 2 = -1/4(x - 0)

This gives

y - 2 = -1/4x

Rewrite as

1/4x + y = 2

Multiply by 4

x + 4y = 8

Hence, the line has an equation of x + 4y = 8
