Answer:20mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of plane = x mph

Speed of plane with wind = 485 mph

So therefore, speed of wind =

485 - x

Speed of plane against wind = 445 mph

So therefore, speed of wind =

x - 445

So therefore, equating the 2 equations of speed of wind

485 - x = x - 445

Collect like terms

485 + 445 = x + x

930 = 2x

2x = 930

x = 930/2 = 465 mph

Speed of wind = x = 465mph

So we put this value on any of the equations for speed of wind

Speed of wind = x - 445 = 465 - 445

= 20 mph

So therefore, speed of wind = 20mph

Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 8 = -x - 6

2x + 8 = -6

2x = -14

x = -7

y = -7 + 8

y = 1

A farm has 8 cows, 28 chickens, 4 pigs, and 12 goats. which ratio is the
QveST [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of pigs to chickens = 4/28, which simplifies to 1/12

ratio of goats to chickens = 12/28, which simplifies to 3/7

ratio of cows to goats = 8/12, which simplifies to 2/3

ratio of pigs to cows = 4/8, which simplifies to 1/2

since 2/3 is the largest, the answer is C

Maya has 5/6 cup of ice cream. How many 1/4-cup servings are in 5/6 cup of ice cream?
Alla [95]

Answer:

3 and 1 over 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We divide 5/6  by 1/4.

5 /6 / 1/4

= 5/6 * 4

= 20/6

= 3  2/6

= 3 1/3.

If a certain cannon is fired from a height of 8.8 meters above the​ ground, at a certain​ angle, the height of the cannonball ab
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

It would take approximately 6.50 second for the cannonball to strike the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

h(t)=-4.9t^2+30.5t+8.8

We need to find the time takes for the cannonball to strike the ground.

Substitute h(t) = 0 in above function.

-4.9t^2+30.5t+8.8=0

Multiply both sides by 10.

-49t^2+305t+88=0

For a quadratic equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 the solutions are: x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Substitute a = -49, b = 305 and c=88

t=\frac{-305+\sqrt{305^2-4\left(-49\right)88}}{2\left(-49\right)}=-\frac{-305+\sqrt{110273}}{98}\\t = \frac{-305-\sqrt{305^2-4\left(-49\right)88}}{2\left(-49\right)}= \frac{305+\sqrt{110273}}{98}

Ignore the negative value of t as time can't be a negative number.

Thus,

t=\frac{305+\sqrt{110273}}{98}\approx6.50

Hence, it would take approximately 6.50 second for the cannonball to strike the ground.
