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

Find the fifth term of a sequence whose first term is 8 and common ratio is 3/2
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Option c. 81/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Fifth term: a5=?

First term: a1=8

Common ratio: r=3/2

an=a1*r^(n-1)

with n=5

a5=a1*r^(5-1)

a5=a1*r^4

Replacing the known values:

a5=8*(3/2)^4

a5=8*(3)^4/(2)^4

a5=8*81/16

Simplifying: Dividing the numerator and denominator by 8:

a5=(8*81/8)/(16/8)

a5=81/2

Answer: Option c. 81/2
