A represents the speed of the aircraft.
b represents the speed of the bus.

a=2b-5
114/b=218/a

Substitution method

114/b=218/(2b-5)

(2b-5)*(114/b)= 218

(228b-570)/b = 218

228b-570= 218b

228b-218b=570

10b= 570

b=57

Plug the value of b into one of the original equations.

a=2(57)-5
a=114-5
a=109

Final answer:
Average speed of plane= 109
Average speed of bus= 57

A regular assignment has 15 sides.Calculate the size of each interior angle
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The measure of an interior angle of a regular 15-gon is 120°.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the measure of the size of an interior angle of a regular 15-gon having 15 sides.

Thus,

The number of sides n = 15

Hence,

Using the formula to determine the measure of an interior angle of a regular 15-gon is given by

(n - 2) × 180° = n × interior angle

substitute n = 15

(15 - 2) × 180 = 15 × interior angle

13 × 180 = 15 × interior angle

Interior angle = (10 × 180) / 15

                      = 1800 / 15

                      = 120°

Therefore, the measure of an interior angle of a regular 15-gon is 120°.

This table shows the relationship of the total number of pieces of fruit to the number of bananas.
ddd [48]

Given:

The table that shows the relationship of the total number of pieces of fruit to the number of bananas.

To find:

Why is \dfrac{6}{5} not equivalent to \dfrac{3}{2}.

Solution:

If a, b, c are real numbers, then

\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{a\times c}{b\times c}

The given fraction is \dfrac{3}{2}. It can be written as:

\dfrac{3\times 2}{2\times 2}=\dfrac{6}{4}

The number 3 is multiplied by 2 to get 6. So, the 2 should also be multiplied by 2. The ratio should be \dfrac{6}{4}, not \dfrac{6}{5}.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
