let the speed of plane in still air be x and that wind be y

therefore:

x+y=490

x-y=390

next we solve for the values of x and y, first we add the above equations. This will give us:

2x=880

x=880/2

x=440 miles per hour.

substituting the value of x in one of the equations and solving for y we get:

440+y=490

y=490-440

y=50 miles per hour

76 is 80% of what number?
vfiekz [6]
76 is 80% of 95 and I'll even explain.
80/100 = 76/x from this point you cross multiply which gives you 80x = 76(100) you multiply 76 by 100 and get 7600 so then the equation look like this 80x = 7600 then divide by 80 on both sides and get the answer of x = 95 which is basically your answer I hope this helps :)

If the length of a leg of a triangle is 39.2 and the area of the triangle is 63 what is the length of the other leg
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The length of the other leg is 3.21\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that the triangle is a right triangle

In a right triangle the legs are perpendicular

so

The area of a right triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(a)(b)

where

a and b are the legs of the triangle

In this problem we have

a=39.2\ units

A=63\ units^{2}

substitute the values

63=\frac{1}{2}(39.2)(b)

126=(39.2)(b)

b=126/(39.2)=3.21\ units

Ok so to find this we need to find 25% of 8 and then add that number to 8 itself. SO .25*8=2. So 2+8=10. So the answer is 10. IF you don't get it just ask and i can try to re explain
