Answer:

32 paperback books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Width of hardcover books = 1 1/2 inches

Width of paperback books = 3/4 inches

Number of hardcover books already on shelf = 8

Total width of shelf = 3 feets

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence, total shelf width in inches = (12 * 3) = 36 inches

Total width of hardcover books = (8 * 1 1/2) = 12 inches

Total shelf width left = (36 - 12) inches = 24 inches

Maximum number of paperback books :

Total shelf width left / paperback width

24 inches / (3/4)inches = 32 paperback books

Two airplanes are are 1600 miles apart and heading toward each other at different altitudes. The first plane is traveling north
Elden [556K]

The planes will pass each other in 1.14 hours.

Why?

To solve the problem, we must remember that since both planes are heading toward each other, the speed to the calculations will be their combined speeds.

The speed will be:

Speed=PlaneA+PlaneB\\\\Speed=620mph+780mph=1400mph

Now, calculating the time, we have:

x=v*t\\\\1600mi=1400mph*t\\\\t=\frac{1600mi}{1400mph}=1.14hours

Hence, the planes will pass each other in 1.14 hours.

Have a nice day!
