Answer:

Plane B is closer.

The distance for Plane A is 7.9 km.

The distance for Plane B is 7.4 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance to the tower, altitude must be converted to kilometers. Each 1000 ft is 0.3048 km, so the heights of the planes are ...

-- Plane A: (20 thousand ft)*(0.3048 km/thousand ft) = 6.096 km

-- Plane B: (8 thousand ft)*(0.3048 km/thousand ft) = 2.4384 km

The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the distance from each plane to the tower:

-- distance = √((ground distance)² + (height)²)

-- Plane A distance = √(5² +6.096²) ≈ √62.16 ≈ 7.9 . . . km

-- Plane B distance = √(7² +2.4384²) ≈ √54.95 ≈ 7.4 . . . km

The distance for Plane B is shorter, so Plane B is closer to the tower.

How many oz of walnuts which cost $6/oz must be added to 2 oz of peanuts which cost $12/oz to make mixed nuts which cost $8/oz
Burka [1]

Answer:  4 oz

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Create a table.  Multiply across and add down (the middle column cannot be added).  The Mixture line creates the equation that must be solved.

Let x represent the unknown quantity of walnuts.

\begin{array}{c|c|c||c}&\underline{Quantity}&\underline{Cost}&\underline{Qty \times Cost}\\Walnuts&x&6&6x\\\underline{Peanuts}&\underline{\qquad 2\qquad}&\underline{\qquad 12\qquad}&\underline{\qquad 24\qquad }\\Mixture&x+2&8&6x+24\end{array}

.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad (x+2)(8) = 6x+24\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 8x + 16 = 6x + 24\longrightarrow \text{distributed}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad2x+16=24\qquad \longrightarrow \text{subtracted 6x}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 2x=8\qquad \qquad \ \longrightarrow \text{subtracted 16}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad x=4\qquad \qquad \quad \longrightarrow \text{divided by 2}
