Answer:
It would be -13.6
Step-by-step explanation:
I used my calculator for this,
-24.65 +25 - 46.75 + 32.80 = -13.6
Let us make a list of all the details we have
We are given
The cost of each solid chocolate truffle = s
The cost of each cream centre chocolate truffle = c
The cos to each chocolate truffle with nuts = n
The first type of sweet box that contains 5 each of the three types of chocolate truffle costs $41.25
That is 5s+5c+5n = 41.25 (cost of each type of truffle multiplied by their respective costs and all added together)
The second type of sweet box that contains 10 solid chocolate trufles, 5 cream centre truffles and 10 chocolate truffles with nuts cost $68.75
That is 10s+5c+10n = $68.75
The third type of sweet box that contains 24 truffles evenly divided that is 12 each of solid chocolate truffle and chocolate truffle with nuts cost $66.00
That is 12s+12n=$66.00
Hence option C is the right set of equations that will help us solve the values of each chocolate truffle.
Speed of the plane: 250 mph
Speed of the wind: 50 mph
Explanation:
Let p = the speed of the plane
and w = the speed of the wind
It takes the plane 3 hours to go 600 miles when against the headwind and 2 hours to go 600 miles with the headwind. So we set up a system of equations.
600

3
h

p

w
600
m

2
h
r

p
+
w
Solving for the left sides we get:
200mph = p - w
300mph = p + w
Now solve for one variable in either equation. I'll solve for x in the first equation:
200mph = p - w
Add w to both sides:
p = 200mph + w
Now we can substitute the x that we found in the first equation into the second equation so we can solve for w:
300mph = (200mph + w) + w
Combine like terms:
300mph = 200mph + 2w
Subtract 200mph on both sides:
100mph = 2w
Divide by 2:
50mph = w
So the speed of the wind is 50mph.
Now plug the value we just found back in to either equation to find the speed of the plane, I'll plug it into the first equation:
200mph = p - 50mph
Add 50mph on both sides:
250mph = p
So the speed of the plane in still air is 250mph.
No, 1/2 is bigger than 1/3 because:-
1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
Compare
3/6 is larger, which means 1/2 is larger since they both equal each other.
Answer: 1/2 is greater than 1/3
