<h2>The value of x = 36</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

x, 45, 40 and 50 are in a proportion.

x : 45 : : 40 : 50

To find, the value of x = ?

We know that,

a : b : : c : d

Product of means = Product of extremes

a × d = b × c

∴ a × d = x × 50

Also,

b × c = 45 × 40

∴ x × 50 = 45 × 40

⇒ x = $\dfrac{45 \times 40}{50}$

⇒ x = $\dfrac{45 \times 4}{5}$

⇒ x = 9 × 4 = 36

∴ The value of x = 36

Flying against the wind, a jet travels 2160 miles in 3 hours. Flying with the wind, same jet travels 6000 miles in 6 hours. What

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The velocity of jet in still air is $860miles/hour$ and velocity of wind is $140miles/hour$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the rate of the jet in still air and y be the rate of the wind.

Given:

Velocity against wind, a jet travels 2160 miles in 3 hours.

Velocity against wind $=\frac{2160}{3} = 720 miles/hour$

Flying with the wind, same jet travels 6000 miles in 6 hours.

Flying with the wind $=\frac{6000}{6} = 1000 miles/hour$

As such its velocity against wind is $x-y$

and with wind is $x+y$ therefore

$x-y=720$ ------------(1)

$x+y=1000$ ---------------(2)

Adding equation 1 and 2.

$2x=1720$

$x=\frac{1720}{2}$

$x=860$

Put x value in equation 2

$860+y=1000$

$y=1000-860$

$y=140$

Hence velocity of jet in still air is $860miles/hour$ and velocity of wind is $140miles/hour$ .

What 5 numbers that has a median equal to 7?

Elza [17]

Median is where if you put them in ascending order and cross them off, one from each side at a time, you get to the middle number.
56789 is your answer but so would any group of 5 numbers where two are bigger and two smaller than seven.

What is the rate of heat transfer required to melt 1-ton of ice at 32 F in 24 hours?

LiRa [457]

Answer:

3865.74 J/s

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of ice, m = 1 ton = 1000 kg

time , t = 24 hours

latent heat of fusion of ice, L = 334000 J/kg

Heat required to melt, H = m x L

where, m is the mass of ice and L be the latent heat of fusion

So, H = 1000 x 334000 = 334 xx 10^6 J

Rate of heat transfer = heat / time = $\frac{334\times 10^{6}}{86400}$

Rate of heat transfer = 3865.74 J/s

thus, the rate of heat transfer is 3865.74 J/s.
