Answer:

Aircraft carrier speed = 4.97 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the time taken by the aircraft = 5 hours

Let the distance covered = X

Speed = V

Time taken by the ship = 7 hours

Let the distance covered = Y

Speed = 8V

Since it is 8 km/h faster than the aircraft carrier.

Using the speed formula

Speed = distance/time

Distance = speed × time

For the aircraft;

X = 5V

For the ship:

Y = 7 × 8V = 56V

Since they are 303km distance apart,

X + Y = 303

5V + 56V = 303

61V = 303

V = 303/61

V = 4.97 km/h

Aircraft carrier speed = 4.97 km/h

The distance between City A and City B is 250 miles. A length of 1.7 feet represents this distance on a certain wall map. City C
Xelga [282]
The scale of the map is equal to 250 miles per 1.7 feet. or 250m/1.7ft. set up as a fraction.
Divide 250 by 1.7 to get how many miles are equal to just 1 foot.
250/1.7 = 147.058824 miles per 1 foot
Multiply that times 3.06 feet (the distance between C and D on the map)
147.058824m/1ft x 3.06ft = 450m
The actual distance between City C and City D should be 450 miles.

Answer:  If you are supposed to graph a line, it will be a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis) passing through +3 on the y-axis. The slope is 0.

it is a function.

If you are doing range and domain, the range is [3] and the domain is [1,2,3,4,5]

Step-by-step explanation: If there are directions above question 1 that apply to question 2, please add them to the comments.

Maybe someone else will be able to help if it is too late for me to edit this answer.

Convert 300% into decimals. So move the decimal point 2 times to the left and you get 3.00 and multiply it by 5 and square it because area of square is s^2

The equation y = (-16t – 2)(t-1) represents the height in feet of a beach ball thrown by a child as a function of time, `t`, in
olasank [31]

2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height from which the beach ball was thrown happens when t = 0. So setting t = 0 to get y, we get

y = [-16(0) - 2](0 - 1)

= (-2)(-1)

= 2 ft

Therefore, the ball was thrown from a height of 2 ft.
