We are trying to find the average speed of the plane, which is mph, or 
. Using proportions, we can find the average speed of the plane in mph:
- Use the information from the problem to create a proportion. Remember that we are looking for mph, so we will call that
.
- Multiply the entire equation by
- Divide both sides of the equation by
to clear both sides of the mile unit
The average speed of the plane is 300 mph.
Hi do u want me to give you the answer or give u the formula?
Well you can't actually find a number, but you can make an equation.
lets call the bag of candy x, and the number of students in the teachers class S.
she gives every student in her class 4 pieces, so to find that amount, we have to multiply the number of students in her class by 4, the pieces of candy. 4S
afterwards she has 48 pieces, which is the endpoint, x is the starting point because that's the amount of candy the teacher started with.
so your equation is x-4S=48, but the thing is, the question is looking for the amount of students she gave candy to, so we have to isolate S, or in easier words; put S on one side, and the numbers on the other.
so the equation is S=1/4x-12
It’s 2-1=1
1-1= 0
0-1=-1
We -1
