Let be:Speed of the wind: WSpeed of the plane in still air: P
Against the wind the plane flew:Distance: d=175 milesTime: ta=1 hour 10 minutesta=1 hour (10 minutes)*(1 hour/60 minutes)ta=1 hour + 1/6 hourta=(6+1)/6 hourta=7/6 hourSpeed against the wind: Sa=d/taSa=(175 miles) / (7/6 hour)Sa=175*(6/7) miles/hourSa=1,050/7 miles per hourSa=150 mph
(1) P-W=Sa(1) P-W=150
The return trip only took 50 minutesDistance: d=175 milesTime: tr=50 minutestr=(50 minutes)*(1 hour/60 minutes)tr=5/6 hour
Speed retur trip: Sr=d/trSr=(175 miles) / (5/6 hour)Sr=175*(6/5) miles/hourSr=1,050/5 miles per hourSr=210 mph
(2) P+W=Sr(2) P+W=210
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknows:(1) P-W=150(2) P+W=210
Adding the equations:P-W+P+W=150+2102P=360Solving for P:2P/2=360/2P=180
Replacing P by 180 in equation (2):(2) P+W=210180+W=210
Solving for W:180+W-180=210-180W=30
Answers:The speed of the plane in still air was 180 mphThe speed of the wind was 30 mph

Population of the state of New York is 19.65 million. 
Million is equal to 1*10^6
So 19.65*10^6

Population of New York city is 8,406,000.
It is equal to 8.406*10^6

Answer:  2.12 × 10^{-3}

               The coefficient (in green) will be 2.12

Step-by-step explanation:

     Scientific notation is written by multiplying the number by a power of 10. This number is a number between 1 and 10.

     Since this is a smaller number, we will be multiplying it by a power of 10 to a negative number.

    To get this value to a number between 1 and 10, we must multiply it by 10 3 times (also shown as 10³) which gives us 2.12.

    To get back to the original value, we multiply this by 10^{-3}. This gives us our answer.
