Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let speed of plane in still air =x

speed of wind=y

(x-y)6=3000

x-y=3000/6=500   ...(1)

(x+y)5=3000

x+y=3000/5=600   ...(2)

adding (1) and (2)

2x=1100

x=1100/2=550

550 +y=600

y=600-550=50

speed of plane in still air=550 m/hr

speed of wind=50 m/hr

Answer:

  • plane: 550 mph
  • wind: 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If p and w represent the speeds of the plane and wind, respectively, the speed into the wind is ...

  p - w = (3000 mi)/(6 h) = 500 mi/h

And, the speed with the wind is ...

  p + w = (3000 mi)/(5 h) = 600 mi/h

Adding these two equations gives us ...

  2p = 1100 mi/h

  p = 550 mi/h . . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the wind speed is ...

  w = 600 mi/h - p = (600 -550) mi/h

  w = 50 mi/h

The rate of the plane in still air is 550 mi/h; the rate of the wind is 50 mi/h.

There are 8 performers who will present their comedy acts this weekend at a comedy club. One of the performers insists on being
Korvikt [17]
This is a permutations problem. There are only 7 comics you can move into different time slots, the 8th one being fixed in that last position. So you can look at it this way:
For the 1st position, you can choose from all 7 people. Once you've picked that one, you have 6 people to choose from for the 2nd position, and similarly for the remaining ones . This gives you 7x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 5040 ways to arrange them. And the last comic stays in the same position all the time so does not change this number. Make sense? If you need to demonstrate it to yourself, use a smaller number of comics, like 3 or 4, and write out the combinations to see that it works.

A quarter is 1/5 of an inch thick and 5 quarters weigh one ounce. Stephanie built a toothpick bridge that could safely hold 3 po
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Maximum height of quarter tower = 9.6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The thickness of a quarter = \frac{1}{5} inches

Weight of a quarter = 1 ounce

The maximum weight that could safely hold = 3 pounds.

<u>The conversion factor for ounce to pound is 1 ounce = 0.0625 pound</u>

The number of quarter used in the tower = no of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds.

No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = \frac{3}{0.0625}

No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = 48

So the height of quarter tower = 48 \times \frac{1}{5} inches

                                                   = 9.6 inches.
