Answer:

The speed of the wind is 12 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the plane travels 264 miles in 1.1 hours with a headwind, the following calculation must be performed to determine its speed:

264 / 1.1 = X

240 = X

Thus, the speed of the plane into the headwind was 240 miles per hour. Now, on the return, with the wind in favor, the route is completed in exactly 1 hour.

Therefore the wind exerts a difference of 24 miles per hour between one trip and another, with which, if it remains stable, its speed is 12 miles per hour (24 / 2).

A rectangular field is nine times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the field is 1700 feet, what
Leokris [45]

Answer:

I. L = 10.35 feet

II. W = 93.15 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be L.

Let the width of the rectangle be W.

Given the following data;

Perimeter of rectangular field = 1700 feet

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

W = 9L

Mathematically, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is;

P = 2(L + W)

A. To write an equation;

X = P = 2(L + W)

B. To find the dimensions of the field;

207 = 2(L + 9L)

207 = 2L + 18L

207 = 20L

L = 207/20

L = 10.35 feet

To find the weight;

W = 9L

W = 9 * 10.35

W = 93.15 feet.

Therefore, the width of the field is

93.15 feet and the length of the field is

10.35 feet.

Which equation represents the graph of the linear function?
Flura [38]
Since the line is going from the top left to the bottom right, the slope is negative so A and B are possible answers.

the line crosses the y axis at -1
B is the option that ends with -1

therefore your answer is B. y = -2x - 1

Tasha invests $5000 annually at 6% and an additional $5000 annually at 8%. Thomas invests $10000 annually at 7%. Which statement
REY [17]

Answer:

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will compare the interest earned by both.

Tasha: p = $5000

r = 6% or 0.06

n = 1

So, Amount after a year will be = = $5300

And amount the next year with p = 5300: 5300*1.06= $5618

Additional $5000 at 8%

Here the amount will be = =5400

Next year amount with p = 5400 : 5400*1.08 = $ 5832

Amount in total Tasha will have in 2 years = 5618+5832 = 11450

Thomas:

p = 10000

r = 7% or 0.07

n = 1

After a year the amount will be = =$10700

Amount Next year with p = 10700 : 10700*1.07 = $11449

*****Just after 1 year we can see that Tasha's total amount is high than Thomas. This means at the same consistent rate, each year Tasha's amount will always be higher than Thomas.

So, option B is correct. Tasha’s investment will yield more over many years because the amount invested at 8% causes the overall total to increase faster.

A road rises 50 feet over a horizontal distance of 600 feet. What is the slope of the road?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

1/12 (or 0.833)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the definition of "slope" is the change in vertical distance divided by the change in the horizontal distance. (aka. rise ÷ run)

it is given that rise = 50 feet and the horizontal distance (i.,e "run") = 600feet

hence slope = rise / run = 50 / 600 = 1/12 (or 0.833)
