Answer:

Speed of the slower plane = 320 mph

Speed of the faster plane = 450 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the slower plane = x mph

And the speed of the faster plane = y mph

Difference in their speeds = 130 mph

y - x = 130 --------(1)

Formula for the distance traveled = Speed × time

Distance traveled by the faster plane in 5 hours = 5y miles

Distance traveled by the slower plane in 5 hours = 5x miles

Total distance traveled by both the planes in 5 hours = 5(x + y) miles

5(x + y) = 3850

x + y = 770 ---------(2)

By adding equations (1) and (2)

2y = 900

y = 450 mph

From equation (2)

x = 770 - 450

x = 320 mph

Translate the following: 9 less than three times a number
NNADVOKAT [17]

A number is equal to the sum of twice the number and negative three. ... Three less than a number is translated as "x – 3." The reverse of that, "3 – x," would be a number less than 3.

Explain why the two figures below are not similar. Use complete sentences and provide evidence to support your explanation. PLSS
Mice21 [21]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding segments of two similar figures are always proportional to each other. I'm other words, the ratio of their corresponding segments are equal.

The figures shown above in this question are not similar figures because their segments are not proportional to each other.

This is because:

DE/KL ≠ FG/MN

DE = 2 units

KL = 1 unit

FG = 1 unit

MN = 1 unit

DE/KL = 2/1 = 2

FG/MN = 1/1 = 1

Thus, DE/KL ≠ FG/MN.

Therefore, the figures are not similar.

Natalka [10]

The total number of students that plotted the number of books they read was <u>18,</u> making the <u>4th option</u>, a correct choice, using the dot plot.

Any data that may be shown as dots or tiny circles is called a dot plot. Given that the height of the bar created by the dots indicates the numerical value of each variable, it is comparable to a bar graph or a simple histogram. Small amounts of data are shown using dot plots.

In the question, we are informed that Mrs. Kelley asked her students to plot the number of books they read over the summer. a dot plot titled books read over the summer goes from 0 to 7. 0 has 1 dot, 1 has 3 dots, 2 has 6 dots, 3 has 2 dots, 4 has 3 dots, 5 has 1 dot, 6 has 2 dots, and 7 has 0 dots.

We are asked to find the total number of students that plotted the number of books they read using the dot plot.

The dot plot is attached to the solution.

The total number of students = The total number of dots = 1 + 3 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 0 = 18.

Thus, the total number of students that plotted the number of books they read was <u>18,</u> making the <u>4th option</u>, a correct choice, using the dot plot.
