Answer:

The rate of plane in still air is 834 km/hr and the rate of wind is 80 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

The airplane travels 6032 km in 8 hours against the wind.

So, u -v = \frac{6032}{8} = 754 ........ (1) {Where u is the speed of plane in still air and v is the wind speed}

Again, the airplane travels 7312 km in 8 hours with the wind.

So, u +v=\frac{7312}{8} =914 ........ (2)

Now, adding equations (1) and (2) we get,

2u = 1668

⇒ u = 834 km per hour.

So, from equation (1), we get  

v = u - 754 = 834 - 754 = 80 km per hour.

Therefore, the rate of the plane in still air is 834 km/hr and the rate of wind is 80 km/hr. (Answer)

Answer:

  the number of cookies ordered

Step-by-step explanation:

When an equation is written in the form ...

  (left variable) = (some expression involving one or more right variables)

we usually describe the "left variable" as the "dependent variable" and the "one or more right variables" as the "independent variable(s)".

Here, the equation is given as ...

  C = 3s + 30

__

This tells you C is the dependent variable, and s is the independent variable. The description also says "C is the number of cookies." Since you know that the dependent variable is the number of cookies, you can answer the question ...

  the dependent quantity is the number of cookies ordered.  (matches the first choice)
