Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
w + 1/2 ➡ (2w + 1)/2
w/4 + 2➡ (w + 8)/4
(2w + 1)/2 = (w + 8)/4
8w + 4 = 2w + 16 ➡ 6w = 12
w = 2
To solve this problem, let us first assign some variables.
Let us say that:
v1 = velocity of airplane = 180 mph
t1 = time travelled by airplane
v2 = velocity of jet = 330 mph
t2 = time travelled by jet
Since we know that distance is the product of velocity and
time, and that the distance travelled by the two must be equal for the jet to
catch up to the plane, hence:
v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
But we know that:
t1 = t2 + 1
Therefore:
180 (t2 + 1) = 330 t2
180 t2 + 180 = 330 t2
150 t2 = 180
t2 = 1.2 hours
<span>Therefore the jet can catch up to the plane after 1.2
hours it takes off.</span>
Answer:
62%
Step-by-step explanation:
31/50 is also equal to 62/100 (if we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2). 62/100 is 62%.
