Speed of the plane: 250 mph
Speed of the wind: 50 mph
Explanation:
Let p = the speed of the plane
and w = the speed of the wind
It takes the plane 3 hours to go 600 miles when against the headwind and 2 hours to go 600 miles with the headwind. So we set up a system of equations.
600
m
i
3
h
r
=
p
−
w
600
m
i
2
h
r
=
p
+
w
Solving for the left sides we get:
200mph = p - w
300mph = p + w
Now solve for one variable in either equation. I'll solve for x in the first equation:
200mph = p - w
Add w to both sides:
p = 200mph + w
Now we can substitute the x that we found in the first equation into the second equation so we can solve for w:
300mph = (200mph + w) + w
Combine like terms:
300mph = 200mph + 2w
Subtract 200mph on both sides:
100mph = 2w
Divide by 2:
50mph = w
So the speed of the wind is 50mph.
Now plug the value we just found back in to either equation to find the speed of the plane, I'll plug it into the first equation:
200mph = p - 50mph
Add 50mph on both sides:
250mph = p
So the speed of the plane in still air is 250mph.

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The first f is the price of the french bread, the 2f is the price of the whole grain(twice that of the french) and f+$2.50 is the cost of the cinnamon raisin ($2.50 more than the french)
Well. add all of these up 8+5+5. we know 5+5 is 10. and 10+8 is 18. so 18 is the denominator. There are 8 red markers and 5 blue markers at 8 and 5 up. 8+5 is 13 right? So the numerator will be 13. but the probability of picking a blue then a red is 13 alone or if you are ask for out of the amount of markers there are, its 13/18. so the probability is 13 or 13/18.
