Answer:

Wind speed = 30 mph

Plane speed = 270 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance = 600 miles

Let speed of airplane = a ; speed of wind = b

Net speed ; with wind = a + b

Net speed against wind = a - b

Time taken with wind = 2 hours

Time taken against wind = 2.5 hours

Recall :

Speed = distance / time ; distance = speed * time

(a + b) * 2 = (a - b) * 2.5

2a + 2b = 600

a + b = 300 - - - (1)

a = 300 - b

2.5a - 2.5b = 600

a - b = 240 - - - (2)

300 - b - b = 240

300 - 2b = 240

-2b = - 60

b = 30

a = 300 - 30

a = 270

Wind speed = 30 mph

Plane speed = 270 mph

The dosage for a drug used to treat a male Siberian tiger that weighs 550 pounds is based on the tiger's weight in kilograms (kg
algol [13]

Answer:

227.2727 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

The tiger weight is 550 pounds, and we want to convert this value to kilograms, so we need to use the ratio between pounds and kilograms.

We know that 1 kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds, so we can solve this problem using a rule of three:

1 kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds,

X kilograms are equal to 550 pounds.

1/X = 2.2/500

X = 500/2.2 = 227.2727 kilograms

So the weight of the tiger in kilograms is 227.2727 kilograms.
