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

Marcy and her sister watched a cartoon movie that was 2 hours and 18 minutes long. after the movie, they played a card game for
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

1:24pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Couple of ways to solve this. Here is one method
Convert all times to minutes and find the total number of minutes they spent on all 3 activities. Then convert to hours and minutes and subtract from the end time of 5;28 to get the start time of all activities which is also the start time of watching the movie (first activity)

So time spent:

Movie: 2 hours 18 minutes = 2 * 60 + 18 = 120 + 18 = 138 minutes
Card game: 34 minutes
Soccer: 1 hour 12 minutes = 1 * 60 + 12 = 72 minutes

Total time spent = 138 + 34 + 72 = 244 minutes = 4 hours and 04 minutes

Subtract 4:04 from 5:28 to get 1:24pm

Check
Movie watch starts at 4:04, ends at 1:24 + 2:18 or 3:42pm
Card game starts at 3:42pm ends at 3:42+0:34 ==> 4:16pm
Soccer starts at 4:16pm ends at 4:16pm + 1:12 ==> 5;28pm
