Distance=rate times time
distance=460
rate-wind=rate against wind
rate+wind=rate with wind
2.5=time aginst wind
2=time with wind
so
460=(rate-wind) times 2.5
and
460=(rate+wind) times 2

solve for rate
460=(rate-wind) times 2.5
divide both sides by 2.5
184=rate-wind

460=(rate+wind) times 2
divide by 2
230=rate+wind

we have
184=rate-wind
230=rate+wind
add them

184=rate-wind
<u>230=rate+wind +
</u>414=2rate+0wind
414=2rate
divide by 2
207=rate

answer is 207 miles per hour

A playground has the shape of a trapezoid.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

  • short base: 6 yards
  • long base: 8 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Our understanding of your figure is shown below.

The question says the "shortest side" and the "width" have the same dimension. If the "width" is a reference to "height 6 yards", then it seems the "shortest side" is 6 yards. Since the slant sides are longer than the height, the "shortest side" is also the "short base."

The short base is 6 yards.

__

The long base overhangs the short base by 1 yard on either end, so it is a total of 2 yards longer than the short base. It it 6+2 = 8 yards long.

The long base is 8 yards.

Find the four arthmetic means between -3 and 46
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

6.8, 16.6, 26.4, 36.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write the sequence, d is the common difference:

- 3, - 3 + d, - 3 + 2d, -3 + 3d, - 3 + 4d, 46

Therefore 46 = -3 + 5d

5d = 49

d = 49/5 = 9.8

So the first arithmetic mean is  -3 + 9.8 = 6.8.  and the second is -3 + 2(9.8) = 16.6...

They are:

6.8, 16.6, 26.4, 36.2.
