Answer:

Speed of wind = 23.63 miles per hour

Plane speed in still air = 260 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken with wind = 5 hour

Time taken against wind = 6 hour

Assume;

Speed of wind = s

So,

Speed of Plane with wind = (260 + s) miles per hour

Speed of Plane against wind = (260 - s) miles per hour

Distance = speed x time

So,

(260 + s)5 = (260 - s)6

1,300 + 5s = 1,560 - 6s

11s = 260

s = 23.63 miles per hour

Speed of wind = 23.63 miles per hour

Plane speed in still air = 260 miles per hour

Advocard [28]

7,150,000

The population of Georgia is 10,500,000.

The population of Virginia is 30% less than that.

So the population of Virginia is 10,500,000 - 30% which equals 7,150,000

Answer:

3.75 quarts, rounded to 3.8 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

3 quarts of solution is 10% antifreeze, so 0.3 quarts are already antifreeze, and 2.7 quarts are not.

a(the antifreeze we already have)+x(what we're going to add)= 1.5*2.7

Let me explain. If we have 60% antifreeze, 40% is not. 60/40=1.5

Substitute a for 0.3

0.3+x=4.05  Subtract 0.3 from both sides

x=3.75

Does the data in the table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? Write an equation to model the data in the tabl
MakcuM [25]

The equation for the direct variation is y= kx (where k is contant of variation.)

This equation represent that if x will increase then y will also increase because it's k times x.

Where the equation for indirect variation is y=\frac{1}{k} x

By this equation if x will increase then y will decrease and vice versa.

The given data is :

x: 2 4 8 12

y: 4 2 1 2/3

Notice as x is increasing then y is decreasing. Like x has increased from 2 to 4 then y is decresing from 4 to 2 and so on.

So, the given data represent an indirect variation.

Paul owes Paula 35 cents and has a pocket full of 5-cent coins, 10-cent coins, and 25-cent coins that he can use to pay her. Wha
kykrilka [37]
So, what is the case in which he uses the least coins? can he use 1 coin? no, there isn't a 35 cent coin. can he use 2 coins? yes! he can use 25+10 cent coins!

now, the largest number of coins means the coins of the smallest value: so using only 5 cent coins. How many would this be?

we have to divide:

35/5=7

so we would use 7 coins.

And the difference is 5: 7-2 is 5.
