Answer:
0.84 square in
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the capacity of the cable is proportional to its cross-sectional area. If a cable that is 0.3 sq in can hold 2500 lb then per square inch it can hold
2500 / 0.3 = 8333.33 lb/in
To old 7000 lb it the cross-sectional area would need to be
7000 / 8333.33 = 0.84 square in

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Commercial jet's speed = 2x-162 (plug this in the equation below)
Private jet's speed = x
Equation:
10(x) = 8(2x-162)
10x = 16x - 1296
6x = 1296
x = 216 (Private jet's speed)
Take the first equation and plug x value in;
2x-162
2(216) - 162 = 270 ( Commercial jet's speed)
