Answer:
Velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is 210 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jet's velocity against wind is
3040/4 = 760 miles per hour and flying with wind it is
8260/7 = 1180 miles per hour.
Let the velocity of jet in still air be x miles per hour and velocity of wind be y miles per hour.
As such its velocity against wind is x − y and with wind is x + y and therefore
x − y = 760 and x + y = 1180
Adding the two 2 x = 1940 and x = 970 and y = 1180 − 970 = 210
Hence velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is
210 miles per hour.

The answer to this is .5 or 1/2.
2. random samples are the least biased samples.
Let x = number of adults tickets sold
then, 1750 - x = number of children tickets sold
We know that the cost for adult tickets is $5 and and children is above calculated so sum total tickets sold cost is $7100.
($5)(x) + ($2)(1750-x) = $7100
5x - 2x + 3500 = 7100
3x = 3600
x = 1200
Answer:
a = 11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 + a =5/4
Subtract 1/3 from each side
1/3-1/3 + a =5/4-1/3
a = 5/4 -1/3
Get a common denominator of 12
a = 15/12 - 4/12
a = 11/12
