We have to calculate the percent decrease in temperature and to choose the correct answer. We can solve the proportion: 320 / 280 = 100 / x; then we will cross multiply. 320 x = 280 * 100; 320 x = 28,000; x = 28,000 : 320 ; x = 87.5 %. Finally : 100% - 87.5 % = 12.5 %. Answer: The percent decrease is C. <span>12.5 %.</span>

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

rate of the plane in still air is 33 miles per hour and the rate of the wind is 11 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We will make a table of the trip there and back using the formula distance = rate x time

                 d              =            r       x       t

there

back

The distance there and back is 264 miles, so we can split that in half and put each half under d:

               d            =         r        x        t

there    132

back     132

It tells us that the trip there is with the wind and the trip back is against the wind:

           

              d           =        r         x        t

there     132        =    (r + w)

back      132       =     (r - w)

Finally, the trip there took 3 hours and the trip back took 6:

           

             d         =        r        *        t

there    132     =    (r + w)     *       3

back     132     =    (r - w)      *       6

There's the table.  Using the distance formula we have 2 equations that result from that info:

132 = 3(r + w)        and        132 = 6(r - w)

We are looking to solve for both r and w.  We have 2 equations with 2 unknowns, so we will solve the first equation for r, sub that value for r into the second equation to solve for w:

132 = 3r + 3w and

132 - 3w = 3r so

44 - w = r.  Subbing that into the second equation:

132 = 6(44 - w) - 6w and

132 = 264 - 6w - 6w and

-132 = -12w so

w = 11

Subbing w in to solve for r:

132 = 3r + 3(11) and

132 = 3r + 33 so

99 = 3r and

r = 33
