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.

A circle graph titled Bachelor's Degrees Earned in the United States from 2009 to 2010. 22 percent is business, 10 percent is so
Helga [31]

Answer:

a) 60 graduates

b) Business and social science.

Step-by-step explanation:

In United States, from 2009 to 2010 the Bachelor's Degrees graduates are made up of 22% for business, 10% for social science, 8% is health related, 6% is education and 54% is others. Given that a sample of 1000 college graduates where used,

a) Number of graduates with education degree is equal to 6% of the total college graduates. Therefore:

Number of graduates with education degree = 6% × 1000 = 0.06 × 1000 = 60 graduates

b) Number of graduates with business degree = 22% × 1000 = 0.22 × 1000 = 220 graduates

Number of graduates with social science degree = 10% × 1000 = 0.1 × 1000 = 100 graduates

Number of graduates with health related degree = 8% × 1000 = 0.08 × 1000 = 80 graduates

Number of graduates with other degree = 54% × 1000 = 0.54 × 1000 = 540 graduates

Since Many graduates earn degrees in fields that result in high-paying jobs, the two fields most likely pay more than the others are that of business and social science.

Which calculations perform on the calculator will yelled in answer that is approximately the same as 76 ÷ 19/25? Check all that
Zinaida [17]

first:76 ÷ 19/25=100

a:80 / 20 * 1 / 25 =0.16

b:80 * 5/4 =100

c:80 / 5 ÷ 1 / 4 =64

d:80 * 5/4 =100

e:80 * 4/5 ​=64

So I think both B and D should be the right answer
