Answer:

the airspeed of the plane = 660 miles/hr

the speed of the wind = 60 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The values are missing in the given information in the question.

To able to solve this question, we will make some assumptions.

Let's assume that:

The airplane heading into the wind travels 1800 miles in 3 hours.

While returning via the same distance, it travels 2 hours 30 minutes.

We are to determine the plane's airspeed as well as the wind speed.

First, let us say that the speed of the plane is p and the wind speed is q

during the time the plane is traveling for 1800 miles in 3 hrs.

Then, we can say

3p -3q = 1800 ----- (1)

However, in  2hours 30 minutes, we have 2.5 hours

So, when the plane is returning, we have the following equation:

2.5p + 2.5q = 1800 ---- (2)

So, to find p and q, we can use the elimination method.

Simply by multiplying equation (1) with 5 and equation (2) with 6

 (5)3p    -  (5)3q     = (5) 1800

 (6)2.5p  + (6)2.5q = (6) 1800            

  15p -  15q  = 9000

+

<u>  15p + 15q   = 10800       </u>

<u>  30p -  0     = 19800       </u>

<u></u>

30p = 19800

p = 19800/30

p = 660

Since p = 660, then from equation (1) we can obtain the value of q:

So; Using equation (1):

3p -3q = 1800

3(660) - 3q = 1800

1980 - 3q = 1800

-3q = 1800 - 1980

-3q = -180

q = 180/3

q = 60

Therefore, the airspeed of the plane = 660 miles/hr

the speed of the wind = 60 miles/hr

Answer:

  d.  about 50 times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expressions for magnitude (M) can be solved for the intensity (I). Then the ratio of intensities is ...

  \dfrac{I_2}{I_1}=\dfrac{I_0\cdot 10^{M_2}}{I_0\cdot 10^{M_1}}=10^{M_2-M_1}=10^{4.2-2.5}\\\\=10^{1.7}\approx 50

The larger earthquake had about 50 times the intensity of the smaller one.
