Answer:

The first plane is moving at 295 mph and the second plane is moving at 355mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the speed of each plane we first need to know the relative speed between them, since they are flying in oposite directions their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds. In this case the speed of the first plane will be "x" and the second plane will be "y". So we have:

x = y - 60

relative speed = x + y = (y - 60) + y = 2*y - 60

We can now apply the formula for average speed in order to solve for "y", we have:

average speed = distance/time

average speed = 1625/2.5 = 650 mph

In this case the average speed is equal to their relative speed, so we have:

2*y - 60 = 650

2*y = 650 + 60

2*y = 710

y = 710/2 = 355 mph

We can now solve for "x", we have:

x = 355 - 60 = 295 mph

The first plane is moving at 295 mph and the second plane is moving at 355mph.

Round of 0.016668correct to three significant figures
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
0.0167

Since the decimal is present, start from the left side of the number and move to the right until you hit the first Non-Zero number. That number will be the first significant figure, and the number you will start counting from. That’s the first, the second is next, and lastly the third. You round the LAST significant figure, in this case a 6 followed by a 6, meaning you round UP.

when there is a (-) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sing of each term in the expression.

4*(-6)*3/5*(10+15)

Add the numbers (10+15)

4(-6)*3/5*25

multiplying an odd number of negative terms makes the product negative

-4*6*3/5*25

reduce the number with the greatest common factor 5

-4*6*3*5

calculate the product

solution
