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 me with this question!
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of hours it takes Leroy to catch up to Kevin equal x. Since speed multiplied by time is distance, Leroy would have run a total of 6x miles(6*x). Kevin already had a head start of 24 minutes, which is the same as 2/5 of an hour. In 2/5 an hour, Kevin ran 2 miles as 2 is 2/5 *5. For the next x hours his distance would be a total of 5x(5*x). This means, after x hours, Kevins distance is 5x + 2. In this case, catching up to someone is the same as having the same distance value. This means we can set the two expressions equal to each other, and solve:

6x = 5x + 2

x = 2

The time it took Leroy to catch up is 2 hours, but we are looking for the distance, which is represented by 6x. We substitute in 2 to get:

6(2) = 12

This means Leroy had to run 12 miles.

1.Give one number that makes the inequality x + 7 &gt; 20 true
nata0808 [166]
1. Any number above 13 works. Why? Because 20-7=13, and to be greater than 20, you must add a number larger than 13.

Examples: 14+7 > 20, 30+7 > 20, 100+7 > 20

2. Any number below 25/3 (which is also 8.3 with a repeating 3) works. Why? Because 25/3=8.3 with a repeating 3, and to remain less than 25, you must multiply by a number less than 8.3 with a repeating 3.

Examples: 3(8) < 25, 3(5) < 25, 3(0) < 25

3. 4 buses. 1 bus will hold 60 students, 2 will hold 120, 3 will hold 180, and 4 will hold 240. The question is trying to trick you into putting now 3.3333333333... buses because that's what 200/60 is, but there is no such thing as a third of a bus. So you need at least 4 buses. (There will be an extra 40 spaces for passengers on the 4th bus, but that is okay.)

To find this answer I did 200/60 and got 3.3 with a repeating 3. You must round to the higher whole number. Rounding down to 3 buses leaves you with 20 students without a bus.

4. 19 boxes. 18 boxes will only hold 288 candies. The question is trying to trick you into putting down 18.75 boxes because that's what 300/16 is, but there is no such thing as 75% of a box. So you need at least 19 boxes. (There will be an extra 4 spaces for candies in the 19th box, but that is okay.)

To find this answer I did 300/16 and got 18.75. You must round to the higher whole <span>number. Rounding down to 18 boxes leaves you with 12 candies without a box.</span>

Which equation represents a proportional relastionship that has a constant of proportionality equal to 4/5
enyata [817]

Answer:

y= 4/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship has an equation of the form y = mx. It passes through the origin.

y= 4/5x is the only equation which is in this form.
