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

AB ← → is tangent to circle O at point A. If m∠AOB = 55°, what is m∠ABO ?
AlladinOne [14]
A tangent forms a right angle with the centre of circle at the point it touches the circumference. i.e. OAB = 90 degrees
If AOB = 55 degrees, then ABO = 90 - 55 = 35 degrees
