Two planes just took off from Charlotte NC. The first plane is traveling 1.5 times as fast as the second plane. After traveling

in the same direction for 2.5 hours, they are 127.5 miles apart. What is the average speed of each plane?

Givens

Slower plane

r = r

t = 2.5 hours

d = d

Faster Plane

r_faster = 1.5 * r

t = 2.5 hours

d1 = d + 127.5

The  time is the same for both

t = d/r

d1/r1 = d/r

(d+ 127.5)/1.5r = d/r   Multiply each side by r

(d + 127.5)/1.5 = d       Multiply both sides by 1.5

d + 127.5 = 1.5d          Subtract d from both sides.

127.5 = 1.5d - d    

127.5 = 0.5d              Divide by 0.5

127.5 / 0.5 = d

255 = d

Now you can go back and figure out the rates.

First find d1

d1 = d + 127.5

d1 = 255 + 127.5

d1 = 382.5

<em><u>Rate of the slower plane</u></em>

d = 255

t = 2.5 hours

r = d/t

r = 255/2.5

r = 102 miles per hour.

<em><u>Faster plane</u></em>

d1 = 382.5 miles

t = 2.5 hours

r1 = d/t

r1 = 382.5/2.5 = 153 miles per hour.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 0.0170

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The mean amount purchased by a typical customer at Churchill’s Grocery Store is $23.50, with a standard deviation of $5.00.

i.e. \mu=23.50

\sigma=5

We assume the distribution of amounts purchased follows the normal distribution.

Sample size : n=50

Let \overline{x} be the sample mean.

Formula : z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

Then, the probability that the sample mean is at least $25.00 will be :-

P(\overline{x}\geq\25.00)=P(\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}\geq\dfrac{25-23.50}{\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{50}}})\\\\=P(z\geq2.12)\\\\=1-P(z

Hence, the likelihood the sample mean is at least $25.00= 0.0170

morpeh [17]

Answer:

a = 1/8

b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a (1/2) ^3 = (1/2) *(1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8

b( 1/2 ) ^ -3  The negative exponent means 1 / (1/2)^3  = 1/ (1/8) = 8

The length of a rectangle is 5 times the width. If the perimeter is to be greater than 36 meters. What are the possible values f
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

  The width must be greater than 3 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width. Then 5w will represent the length, which is 5 times the width. The perimeter is the total of the side lengths of the rectangle, so is ...

  P = 2w + 2(5w) = 12w

We want this to be greater than 36 m, so ...

  P > 36 m

  12w > 36 m . . . . . . . substitute our expression for P

  w > 3 m . . . . . . . . . . divide by 12

The possible values for width are those values that are more than 3 meters.
