Put the numbers in the formula and evaluate.

a) pitch = (rise)/(1/2·span)

= (12 ft)/(1/2·30 ft) = 12/15 = 4/5

___

b) pitch = (4 ft)/(1/2·24 ft) = 4/12 = 1/3

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 4000 kilometers in 5 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 5040 kilom
andriy [413]

Answer:the plane in still air is 904 km/h

the rate of the wind is 104 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate or speed of the plane in still air.

Let y represent the rate or speed of the wind.

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 4000 kilometers in 5 hours. This means that the total speed of the airplane would be (x - y) km/h

Distance = speed × time

Therefore

4000 = 5(x - y)

4000 = 5x - 5y - - - - - - - - -1

Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 5040 kilometers in 4 hours. This means that the total speed of the airplane would be (x + y) km/h. Therefore,

5040 = 4(x + y)

5040 = 4x + 4y - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes

16000 = 20x - 20y

20160 = 20x + 20y

Subtracting, it becomes

- 4160 = - 40y

y = - 4160/-40

y = 104

Substituting y = 104 into equation 1, it becomes

4000 = 5x - 5 × 104

4000 = 5x - 520

5x = 4000 + 520

5x = 4520

x = 4520/5 = 904

Order number from least to greates <br> 9/5 -2.5 -1.1 -4/5 0.8 ​
Brut [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by writing these five numbers in just one format (improper fractions with denominator 10):

9/5 = 18/10, and

-2.5 = -25/10, and

-1.1 = -11/10, and

-4/5 = -8/10, and, finally

0.8 = 8/10

The smallest of these (the least) is -25/10, and

the largest is 18/10.

Arranged in ascending order, we have:

-25/10, -11/10, -8/10, 8/10, 18/10, or

-2.5, -1.1, -4/5, 0.8, 9/5
