Chicago to KC

d = ??

v = 440 knots

t = t - 3

KC to Chicago

d = ?? But it is the same distance as the givens above.

v = 110 knots

t = t hours

Equation

d = r * t

Solve

Since the distances are the same you can equate the r * t

440 * (t - 3) = 110 * t The numbers would be a lot smaller if you divided both sides by 110

[440 * (t - 3)] / 110 = 110 t / 110

4*(t - 3) = t Remove the brackets.

4t - 12 = t Subtract t from both sides

3t - 12 = 0 Add 12 to both sides

3t = 12 Divide by 3

t = 12/3

t = 4 The time to fly for the slower plane = 4 hours.

Solve for distance.

d = r * t

d = 110knots / hr * 3 hr

d = 440 knots. You should get exactly the same thing for t if you do not divide by sides by 110 knots

440 * (t - 3) = 110*t

440 f - 440 * 3 = 110*t

440t - 1320 = 110t Subtract 110t

440t - 110t - 1320 = 0

330t - 1320 = 0

330t = 1320

t = 1320 / 330

t = 4 Same answer.

Lisa is 6 centimeters taller than her friend Ian. Ian is 10 centimeters taller than Jim. Every month, their heights increase by
Temka [501]

Lan is 146 centimeters tall now.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Let, Lan's current height is h centimeters

As Lisa is 6 centimeters taller than Lan and Lan is 10 centimeters taller than Jim, so Lisa's current height = (h+6) centimeters and Jim's current height = (h-10) centimeters.

Every month, their heights increase by 2 centimeters.

So, after 5 months.....

Lan's height = h+(2*5)=(h+10) centimeters,

Lisa's height = (h+6)+(2*5)= (h+16) centimeters and

Jim's height = (h-10)+(2*5)= h centimeters

Given that, the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height in 5 months. So the equation will be....

(h+10)+h= (h+16)+140\\ \\ 2h+10=h+156\\ \\ 2h-h=156-10\\ \\ h=146

So, the current height of Lan is 146 centimeters.

A 3-ounce serving of tuna provides 21 g of protein use equivalent ratios to find how many grams of protein are in 9 ounces of tu
cluponka [151]
Since 3 ounces=21 g of protein, you would multiply 21 g x 3, because 6 ounces would = 42g. using that principle 3×3 = 9 & 21×3 = 63.

wlad13 [49]

A) Tonya bought 3 games at X price, so 3X would be total amount.

B) Tony's cost was 0.50 less than X, so x-0.50, he bought 4 games, so he spent 4(x-0.50).

C) Set those to equal to solve for x:

3x = 4(x-0.50)

D) Solve:

3x = 4(x-0.50)

Distribute:

3x = 4x - 2

Subtract 4x from both sides:

-X = -2

Multiply both sides by -1:

X = 2

E) Since X is the amount Tonya paid per game, Tony paid X - 0.50, so Tony paid 2 - 0.50 = $1.50 per game.

Check:

Tonya:  3x = 3(2) = $6 total

Tony: 4(x-0.50) = 4(2.00 - 0.50) = 4(1.50) = $6 total
