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.

To find simple interest you multiply the principal (in dollars) the interest rate (as a decimal) and the time in years the equat
AveGali [126]
Here we have $400 originally and it is invested at an interest rate of 0.015 for 4 years.

Therefore we can say that the interest rate is 0.015 * 4 * 100 = 6% for the 4 years.

Simple interest is 6% / 4 = 1.5%.

And the principal is $400.

Described an event that has a probability of 0 and a probability of 100
Igoryamba
The event with the probability of 0 will definitely not happen.

The event with the probability of 100% will definitely happen.

As human beings we need some safe assumptions. Without those we could not get out of bed in the morning.

We assume that the probability of the Moon falling into the Pacific Ocean tomorrow is 0. We assume that the probability of the Sun rising tomorrow is 100%. We have no way to know either one but we assume both.
