An airplane is flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet. To avoid turbulence the pilot descends at a rate of 2,000 feet / minute for

3 minutes. He continues flying at this altitude until he decides the turbulence is over; then he ascends at a rate of 1,500 feet minute for 5.5 minutes. At what altitude is the plane now flying?​

Answer:

The plane is now flying at an altitude of 42,250 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, he is at an altitude of 40,000 feet.

Descends at a rate of 2,000 feet / minute for 3 minutes.

So his altitude is now:

40,000 - 3*2,000 = 34,000

Ascends at a rate of 1,500 feet minute for 5.5 minutes.

The plane is now flying at an altitude of:

34,000 + 1,500*5.5 = 42,250

The plane is now flying at an altitude of 42,250 feet.

What ere the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-1,7) to (7,7) that partitions the segment into a ratio
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

(\frac{37}{11},\frac{77}{11}  )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points are (-1,7) and (7,7).

We are told to find a point which is in between them at a ratio of 6:5.

Formula for calculating a point at distance of ratio m:n is given by

(\frac{mx2+nx1}{m+n} ,\frac{my2+ny1}{m+n} )

where (x1,y1),(x2,y2) are the inital and final points.

(x1,y1)=(-1,7)\\\\(x2,y2)=(7,7)

also m:n=6:5 ,

by substituting all the values we get,

(\frac{6*7+5*-1}{11} ,\frac{6*7+5*7}{11} )

(\frac{37}{11},\frac{77}{11}  )

Nicole used 3/8 of her ribbon to wrap the present. If she used 6 feet of ribbon for the present how much ribbon did Nicole have
lilavasa [31]
You would set up a proportion. 3/8 = 6/x... cross multiply ( 3*x = 3x and 6*8 = 48)  3x = 48... divide both sides by 3 (3x/3 = x and 48/3 = 16)

So, she originally had 16 feet of ribbon.

200m - 100m + 48,250 = 50,250 – 150m
drek231 [11]

200m - 100m + 48,250 = 50,250 - 150m

(Add or subtract common variables)

100m + 48,250 = 50,250 - 150m

(Add 150m to both sides)

250m + 48,250 = 50,250

(Subtract 48,250 to both sides)

250m = 2000

(Divide 250 to both sides to isolate m)

m = 8
