Answer:

1100 and 130 (km/h)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. if the velocity of the wind is 'w' and the velocity of the plane in still air is 'p', then

2. it is possible to make up two equations:

the fly against the wind: (p-w)*8=7760;

the fly with the wind: (p+w)*3=3690.

3. if to solve the system made up, then:

\left \{ {{3(p+w)=3690} \atop {8(p-w)=7760}} \right. \ => \ \left \{ {{p+w=1230} \atop {p-w=970}} \right.  \ => \ \left \{ {{p=1100} \atop {w=130}} \right.

4. the required rate of the plane in still air is p=1100 km/h; the rate of the wind is w=130 km/h.

A 12 ounce Starbucks latte costs $3.36. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the cost in dollars, y, to the numb
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Y = X times 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You set it up as a proportionality

12/1 and 3.36/x

The x stands for how much money it takes to get 1 ounce

2. You do the old man line.

12 times x = 3.36 times 1

12x = 3.36

3. Now you divide 3.36 by 12

3.36 divided by 12

.28

4. You insert 0.28 into the problem

12 times 0.28 = 3.36

X = 0.28

So 1 ounce costs $0.28

So Y = X times 0.28
