Answer: Option D, the actual speed of the wind is 16km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define two quantities:

Sp = Speed of the plane, that we assume it is constant.

Sw = Speed of the wind, that we assume it is constant.

When the plane flies with the wind, the total speed will be

Sp + Sw = 251km/h.

When the plane flies against the wind, the total speed will be:

Sp - Sw = 219km/h.

Then we have two equations:

Sp + Sw = 251km/h

Sp - Sw =  219km/h.

We want to find the speed of the wind, so we should isolate the speed of the plane in one of the equations, let's isolate it in the second equation:

Sp = 219km/h + Sw.

Now we can replace this into the other equation:

Sp + Sw = 251km/h.

(219km/h + Sw) + Sw = 251km/h.

2*Sw + 219km/h = 251km/h

2*Sw = 251km/h - 219km/h = 32km/h

Sw = (32km/h)/2 = 16km/h.

This is really close to the option B, but is not equal, so the correct answer will be D, none of the above.

The ratio of angle measures is 1:2:2. Classify the triangle by its angle measures. a.acute triangle b.right triangle c. obtuse t
HACTEHA [7]
Angles in a triangle must add up to 180°, so you could use this information to find the values of the angles. 1 + 2 + 2 = 5, 180 ÷ 5 = 36. 36 × 2 = 72, so 36 + 72 + 72 = 180. This means that the answer is A. acute, because all of the angles are below 90°. I hope this helps!

A group of 45 students went to a basketball game.
monitta

Answer:

See below. (C*a) + (P*b) = M

Step-by-step explanation:

amount of students = 45

amount of candy per student = 1

amount of popcorn per student = 1

Let "S" be the total amount of students

Let "C" be the total amount of candy

Let "P" be the total amount of popcorn

Let "T" be the total number of snacks

Let "a" be the price per candy

Let "b" be the price per popcorn

Let "M" be the total amount of money spent at the game

The price of the candy is unknown.

The price of the popcorn is unknown.

The total amount of money spent at the game is unknown.

(C*a) + (P*b) = M

I am not sure what you are asking for but, here is what I drew up for you. Hope this helps!
