Answer:

<em>200mph</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is expressed using the expression

Speed = Distance/Time

For Mattie

Distance = 200miles

Speed = x

Time taken by mattie = Distance/speed

Time taken by mattie = 200/x ... 1

For the propeller plane:

Distance = 800miles

Speed = x+150 (The speed of the plane was 150 mph faster than the speed of the car)

time taken by the plane = 800/x+150

Since Mattie took the same amount of time that it took a turbo propeller plane to travel, then we will equate both expressions as shown:

200/x = 800/150+x

Cross multiply

800x = 200(150+x)

800x = 30,000 + 200x

800x-200x = 30,000

600x = 30,000

x = 30,000/600

x = 50

Get the speed of the plane

Since the speed of the plane is 150+x

Speed of the plane = 150+50

<em>Speed of the plane = 200mph</em>

Which statement best describes the association between variable X and variable Y?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Perfect positive association

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition: A perfect positive association means that a relationship appears to exist between two variables, and that relationship is positive 100% of the time. Two variables have a positive association when the values of one variable tend to increase as the values of the other variable increase. (+1 indicates a perfect positive linear relationship)

Definition: A perfect negative association means that a relationship appears to exist between two variables, and that relationship is negative 100% of the time. Two variables have negative association when the values of one variable tend to decrease as the values of the other variable increase. (-1 indicates a perfect negative linear relationship)

Values between 0.3 and 0.7 (-0.3 and -0.7) indicate a moderate positive (negative) linear relationship.

From the graph we can see that this relationship shows perfect positive association (both variables increase and we can plot the straight line which will include all points)

Sonya can walk 6 kilometers in 3 hours. If she has to walk 10 kilometers, how much time will it take her?
ELEN [110]
6 divided by 2 is 3 kilometers.
Therefore, divide 10 by 2 which will get you 5 kilometers.

Sonya can walk 10 kilometers in 5 hours.
