Answer:

360 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let speed of plane be x

speed of wind be c

Also note D = RT, where

D is distance and R is rate and T is time

<u>For First Leg:</u>

we can write:

(x - c) * 2 = D

2x - 2c = D

<u>For Second Leg:</u>

we can write:

(x+c)*1.5 = D

1.5x + 1.5c = D

We can equate and write:

2x - 2c = 1.5x + 1.5c

0.5x = 3.5c

We know Speed of Wind, c, is 30, so we have:

0.5x = 3.5(30)

0.5x = 105

x = 105/0.5 = 210 [speed of airplane]

We know distance is

D = 2x - 2c

D = 2(210) - 2(30)

D = 420 - 60

D = 360 miles

The distance is 360 miles

Give one example of when you would. use the friendly numbers strategy to subtract .Explain why ?
lord [1]
Say you were solving 27 + 19. If you were planning on using the friendly numbers strategy, you'd look at the first <span>addend, 27, and determine that</span> the closest "friendly number" here is thirty, which you'd get by adding 3. From there, you can jump to the next friendly number, forty, by adding another 10. So far you'd've added 13, and you'd need another 6 for that too add up to 19, your second addend. After adding 3, 10, and 6 to 27, you'd find your sum, or "final answer"- 46.

I hope this was what you were looking for!
