-1.25 or -1 1/4 that’s because the dot is in between a half and a whole number so one half divided by two is 1/4
Answer:
The slope is 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Take 2 points on the line, lets use (0,50) and (30,60)
x1 y1 x2 y2
Use slope formula:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
60 - 50 / 30 - 0
10 / 30
which can be simplified to:
1/3
A. The student added before multiplying.
If they had multiplied 6 and 4 first, the next step would have been too divide. But since they added first, they got 36/24 or 3/2 when the answer should be 13.
Answer:
x = 387
Step-by-step explanation:
The wind acts in the opposite direction to the plane when the time is longer.
The wind acts in the same direction as the plane when the time is shorter.
Equation
d = r*t
Givens
- d = 1720
- x = plane's speed
- y = wind speed
- t1 = 5 hours
- t2 = 4 hours.
Substitution
- d = (x + y) * t
- 1720 = (x + y) * 4
- 1720 = (x - y) * 5
Since the two distances are the same, you can equate the right hand sides.
- (x + y) * 4 = (x - y)*5 Remove the brackets.
- 4x + 4y = 5x - 5y Add 5y to both sides
- 4x + 4y + 5y = 5x - 5y + 5y Combine all the terms.
- 4x + 9y = 5x Subtract 4x from both sides
- 9y + 4x - 4x = 5x - 4x Combine
- 9y = x
Now use one of the given equations with the distance
- 1720 = (x + y)*4 Substitute 9y for x
- 1720 = (9y + y) * 4 Combine
- 1720 = 10y * 4 Multiply the right
- 1720 = 40y Divide by 40
- 1720/40 = 40y/40 Do the division
- 43 = y y = wind speek
- 9y = x x = 9*y
- 9*43 = x
- x = 387 miles per hour.
