An airplane encountered a head wind during a flight between Joppetown and Jawsburgh which took 5 hours and 30 minutes. The retur

n flight took 5 hours. If the distance from Joppetown to Jawsburgh is 2700 ​miles, find the airspeed of the plane​ (the speed of the plane in still​ air) and the speed of the​ wind, assuming both remain constant.

Answer: a) 490.91 mph

b) 540 mph

c) speed of the​ wind = 49.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that flight between Joppetown and Jawsburgh took 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Time t = 5.5hours

Distance = 2700 miles

Speed = distance/ time

Speed = 2700/5.5

Speed = 490.91 mph

The return flight took 5 hours of the same distance from = 2700 ​miles

Speed = 2700/5 = 540 mph

speed of the​ wind = the difference in the two speed

speed of the​ wind = 450 - 490.91

speed of the​ wind = 49.1 mph

Speed = 540m/s

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

from usatestprep:

The situation is not an example of uniform probability because freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors do not have equal probabilities of being selected.; Uniform probability → equal probability of being selected

P(freshman) =  

8/

I need only help on 11-14 please someone help me
Ainat [17]

Linear function definition: a function that will create a straight line when graphed.

11 is not a linear function (not a straight line), but 12 is.

For the tables, you can either plot out the graph or just look at the number patterns. A linear function's numbers will always increase/decrease accordingly at a constant rate. For example, in 14, you notice that as x increases by 1, y decreases by 2. This means it is a linear graph.

In 13, as x increases by 1, the output y increases but at a different rate each time. It increased by 3 at first, then 5, then 7. Hence, it is not a linear function. What is it then? It is an exponential function.

2. Describe the means-extremes property.
GREYUIT [131]

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

Ex: 2:3 :: 6:9

In this question, the means are 3 and 6.

The extremes are 2 and 9.

We use this method to find whether the two ratios are equal or not.

We multiply the means and the extremes, and if there products are same, then these two ratios are proportional.

If these two ratios are proportional, their "means" = "extremes"

=> Means = Extremes

=> 3 x 6 = 2 x 9

=> 18 = 18

So, these two ratios are proportional.

Hope this helps you.
