An airplane 30,000 feet above the ground begins descending at the rate of 2000 feet per minute. Assume the plane continues at th

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken to reach 12,000 feet = x

Distance traveled in 1 minute = 2000 ft

Distance traveled in 'x' minute = 2000 * x = 2000x

30,000 - 2000x = 12000

Add 2000x to both sides

30,000 = 12000 + 2000x

Now subtract 12,000 from both sides

30000 - 12 000 = 2000x

2000x =  18 000

Divide both sides  by 2000

x = 18000/2000

x = 9 minutes

1+1<br><br>Plz give good reasoning why this is an snwer
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: 1+1 is equal to 2, because adding a singular object to a specified amount of something to the number 1, it will increase by just that. Therefore, if the quantity of something is one, adding the number one to its value will be the number 2.

A bus covers a distance of 90km at a uniform speed. Had the speed been 15km/hour it would have taken 30 minutes less for the jou
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Let's say d = distance, r = speed and t = time

We know the distance formula is :

distance = speed x time

d = r multiplied by t

d = rt

If the speed is 15km/hr, the time would be 30 minutes shorter.

Since d = rt,

90 = 15t

t = 6,

This means the time taken for the bus to complete the journey at 15km/hr would be 6hrs.

Originally though, the journey takes 30 minutes longer.

So we can say t = 6.5 hrs , and we know d = 90

Now we use the distance formula:

d = rt, since we want to find the original speed, we want to find r.

Speed = distance/time

r = d/t

r = 90/6.5

r = 180/13

Therefore the original speed is 180/13 km/hr
