Answer:

Time in the air  t₁  =  7 s

Time in the sea t₂ =  5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the equation:   v =  d/t , where:

v is the average speed,

d the distance traveled, and

t time doing the trip

From v = d/t    ⇒  d = v*t

Therefore, if we call t₁ time in the air, and t₂ time in the sea, according to problem statement, we have:

t₁  +  t₂  = 12        (1)

16*t₁  +  3*t₂  = 127    (2)

A two equation system, from equation (1) we get

t₂  = 12 - t₁

And by substitution in equaton (2)

16*t₁  + 3 * ( 12 - t₁ ) = 127

16*t₁  + 36 - 3*t₁  = 127

13*t₁   = 91

t₁  = 91 /13

t₁ = 7 s

And    t₂  = 12 - 7

t₂ = 5 s

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line -3x+5y=-10
lapo4ka [179]

This looks familiar, right? Like slope-intercept.

y=mx+b, where m is the slope.

Let's right it like that.

5y=3x-10 (add 3x to both sides, since we want to isolate the y.)

Now divide by 5, since - again - we want to isolate the y.

y= 3/5x-10/5 >>>> y= 3/5x-2

I think the slope is 3/5.

If the line happens to be parallel, the slope is the same. If perpendicular, it is opposite reciprocal. So if it was perpendicular, the slope would be -5/3.

Hamburger buns come in packages of 8. Hamburger patties come in packages of 10.
Vadim26 [7]

Answers/Step-by-step explanation:

A. LCM

B. Greatest Common Factor(GCF) shows the largest whole number, in this case patties and buns, would be a part of the whole that matches both numbers. Neil is unable to buy parts of packages because that not how most stores do business. Least common multiple(LCM) is the number that is both closest in value to the original number while being equal for all numbers. in that case, Neil is buying whole packages so it would work.

C. Neil would buy 4 packages of hamburger patties and 5 packages of hamburger buns. He could make 20 burgers.
