so Meg's friend is a faster reader, if Meg takes 3/5 of an hour I guess, to read one book, her friend takes 2/3 of that.

how much is 2/3 of 3/5?  well, is just their product.


\bf \cfrac{3}{5}\cdot \cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{3}{3}\cdot \cfrac{2}{5}\implies 1\cdot \cfrac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{2}{5}\impliedby \textit{for one book only} \\\\\\ \stackrel{first~book}{\cfrac{2}{5}}+\stackrel{second~book}{\cfrac{2}{5}}+\stackrel{third~book}{\cfrac{2}{5}}\implies \cfrac{6}{5}\implies 1\frac{1}{5}\impliedby \textit{for three books}

Answer:

Question

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 4200 km in 7 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 4000 km in 4 hours. What is the rate of the plane in still air and what is the rate of the wind?

Answer · 1 vote

Let Va = the velocity of the airplane Let Vw = the velocity of the wind When flying with the wind: (Va+Vw)*(4 hours) = 4000 4Va + 4Vw = 4000 4Vw = 4000 - 4Va Vw = 1000 - Va When flying against the wind: (Va-Vw)*(7 hours) = 4200 km7Va - 7Vw = 4200 Substitute 1000-Va for Vw and solve for Va: 7Va - 7(1000-Va) = 4200 7Va -7000 + 7Va = 4200 14Va = 11200 Va = 800 km/hr Rate of wind: Vw = 1000 - Va = 1000 - 800 = 200 km/hour

Find the 100th term of the following arithmetic sequence <br> 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, ...
AysviL [449]

Answer:

  55

Step-by-step explanation:

The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is given by the formula ...

  an = a1 + d(n -1)

where a1 is the first term (5.5) and d is the common difference (0.5).

So, the n-th term is ...

  an = 5.5 +0.5(n -1) = 5.0 +0.5n

For n = 100, the term is ...

  a100 = 5.0 +0.5(100) = 55

The 100th term of the sequence is 55.
