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

Dollar is worth three and 3 1/2 kruneros. What is the value of 43 3/4 kruneros?
Korvikt [17]

<em><u>Question:</u></em>

One dollar is worth 3 1/2 kruneros. What is the value of 43 3/4 kruneros?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

The value of 43\frac{3}{4} kruneros is 12.5 dollars

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Dollar is worth three and 3 1/2 kruneros

Which means,

1 \text{ dollar } = 3\frac{1}{2} \text{ kruneros }\\\\1 \text{ dollar } = 3.5 \text{ kruneros }

We have to find the value of 43\frac{3}{4} kruneros

Let us convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator.

43\frac{3}{4} = \frac{43 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{175}{4} = 43.75

So we have to find the value of 43.75 kruneros

Let "x" be the value of 43.75 kruneros

Then,

1 dollar = 3.5 kruneros

x dollar = 43.75 kruneros

This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiply

1 \times 43.75 = x \times 3.5\\\\x = \frac{43.75}{3.5}\\\\x = 12.5

Thus value of 43\frac{3}{4} kruneros is 12.5 dollars

How do you find the Geometric Mean of a set of two or more numbers?
DENIUS [597]
A geometric mean is often used when comparing different items—finding a single "figure of merit" for these items—when each item has multiple properties that have different numeric ranges.[1]<span> For example, the geometric mean can give a meaningful "average" to compare two companies which are each rated at 0 to 5 for their environmental sustainability, and are rated at 0 to 100 for their financial viability. If an arithmetic mean were used instead of a geometric mean, the financial viability is given more weight because its numeric range is larger—so a small percentage change in the financial rating (e.g. going from 80 to 90) makes a much larger difference in the arithmetic mean than a large percentage change in environmental sustainability (e.g. going from 2 to 5). The use of a geometric mean "normalizes" the ranges being averaged, so that no range dominates the weighting, and a given percentage change in any of the properties has the same effect on the geometric mean. So, a 20% change in environmental sustainability from 4 to 4.8 has the same effect on the geometric mean as a 20% change in financial viability from 60 to 72.</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>13).</em> K( - 5 , - 2 ) ----> ( - 5 - 6 , - 2 - 2 ) = <em>K'( - 11 , - 4 )</em>

<em>14).</em> Rule of the reflection in the y-axis is ( x , y ) -----> ( - x , y )

L( 1 , - 3 ) -----> <em>L'( - 1 , - 3 )</em>

<em>15).</em> Rule of the 90° Counterclockwise rotation is ( x , y ) -----> ( - y , x )

Z( - 7 , 2 ) ----> <em>Z'( - 2 , - 7 )</em>

<em>16).</em> Rule of the dilation by the scale "k" is ( x , y ) ----> ( kx , ky )

F( - 4 , 6 ) ----> ( - 4*1.5 , 6*1.5 ) = <em>F'( - 6 , 9 )</em>

<em>17).</em> Rule of the reflection in the x-axis and the dilation by the scale "k" is

( x , y ) -----> ( kx , - ky )

X( - 3 , 9 ) -----> ( - 3*(1/3) , - 9*(1/3) ) = <em>X'( - 1 , - 3 )</em>
