We are trying to find the average speed of the plane, which is mph, or 
. Using proportions, we can find the average speed of the plane in mph:
- Use the information from the problem to create a proportion. Remember that we are looking for mph, so we will call that
.
- Multiply the entire equation by
- Divide both sides of the equation by
to clear both sides of the mile unit
The average speed of the plane is 300 mph.
Here are the step for solving this:
1. 3y + 5 > 23
-5 -5
3y/3 > 18/3
y > 6
In words what you are doing is getting y by itself on one side. Subtract the 5 to undo the adding of 5 first. Then, divide both sides by 3.
Answer: 171 green marbles
Step-by-step explanation: There are 7 total marbles so 100/7 equals 14.28
Then there is a 2 out of 7 total tries so 14.28 * 2 equals 28.57% chance to get a green marble.
600 * 0.2857 = 171.41 marbles but you cant get half a marble so 171 green marbles.
Divide 120 by 4 and your answer will be: Rya can drive 30 miles on 1 gallons of gas.
x(t) = 20t
y(t) = 40t - 5t^2
Since we are only interested in comparing the two at time t = 5 seconds, we plug in 5 everywhere we see the variable t and then compare x and y
x(5) = 20(5) becomes x(5) = 100
y(5) = 40(5) - 5(5)^2 becomes y(5) = 200 - 125 and then y(5) = 75
The ratio of y to x can be expressed as: y/x, so we can say the ratio is equal to 75/100 or 0.75
Answer: 0.75
