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

Jamie has a half-sheet cake. If she has six friends, how much will each one get?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is </h2><h2>B. 1/12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

From the problem state, we can actually conclude that Jamie wants to share the half sheet of cake among her 6 friends

step two:

we can express this problem mathematically as

=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{6} }

we can inverse the denominator and use a multiplication sign instead

\\\\= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{6}

multiplying both denominators we have

\\\\= \frac{1}{12}

The answer is B 1/12
