Answer:
after 7 minutes
19,600 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the "pencil and paper" solution:
The two altitude equations are ...
y = 41300 -3100x
y = 2800x
They can be solved by setting the expressions for y equal to each other.
2800x = 41300 -3100x
5900x = 41300
x = 41300/5900 = 7
y = 2800·7 = 19600
The planes will both be at 19,600 feet after 7 minutes.
Answer:
Bruno is correct. When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit you need to divide
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam's calculation:
45.7 + 40.9 + 38.0 = 124.6 miles. 124.6 × 0.621 = 77.38 kilometers.
Bruno's calculation:
45.7 + 40.9 + 38.0 = 124.6 miles. 124.6 divided by 0.621 = 200.64 kilometers.
1 kilometer = 0.621 miles.

We will divide a larger value by a smaller value to get the smaller units
We have to find the values of m and n. We know that the value of n is 5 times as much as the value of m : n = 5 m. Also n is 36 more than the value of m : n = m + 36. This is a system of equations. Of we substitute n = 5 m into the second equation: 5 m = m + 36; 5 m - m = 36; 4 m = 36; m = 36 : 4; m = 9. Finally: n = 5 * 9 ; n = 45. Answer: The values are n = 45 and m = 9.
