Answer:

Speed of plane in still air = 135 km/h

Speed of wind = 23 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Speed of plane with the wind = 158km/h

Speed of plane against the wind = 112km/h

Let,

x be the speed of plane

y be the speed of wind

According to given statement;

x+y = 158     Eqn 1

x-y = 112       Eqn 2

Adding Eqn 1 and 2

x+y+x-y=158+112\\2x = 170\\\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{270}{2}\\x=135

Putting x = 135 in Eqn 1

135+y = 158

y = 158-135

y = 23

Hence,

Speed of plane in still air = 135 km/h

Speed of wind = 23 km/h

Please help in the question it should be if t=-6 when r =-2 its an error
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

r = - \frac{12}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that r varies inversely as t , then the equation relating them is

r = \frac{k}{t} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition t = - 6 when r = - 2, then

- 2 = \frac{k}{-6} ( multiply both sides by - 6 )

12 = k, thus

r = \frac{12}{t} ← equation of variation

when t = - 7, then

r = \frac{12}{-7} = - \frac{12}{7}

Answer:

C)1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 18 marbles in all.So the denominator should we eighteen unless we can simplify it.There are 6 yellow marbles,so the numerator can be 6 unless simplified.In this case,the fraction is 6/18.We can simplify it.The GCF(greatest common denominator) is  6.That makes it 1/3.
