Answer:

  • airplane: 225 mph
  • wind: 45 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed with the wind is (540 mi)/(2 h) = 270 mi/h.

The average speed against the wind is (540 mi)/(3 h) = 180 mi/h.

Let a and w represent the speeds of the airplane and wind, respectively.

  a + w = 270 . . . . speed with the wind

  a - w = 180 . . . . speed against the wind

  2a = 450 . . . . . . sum of the two equations

  a = 225 . . . . . . divide by 2

  w = a -180 = 45

The speed of the airplane is 225 miles per hour; the speed of the wind is 45 miles per hour.

Find the value of x.<br><br> F) 6m<br> G) 7.5m<br> H) 15m<br> I) 21m
Xelga [282]

Answer:

x = 6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h (a + b)

where h is the perpendicular height and a, b the parallel bases

Here A = 60, h = 8, a = 9 and b = x , thus

\frac{1}{2} × 8 × (9 + x) = 60, that is

4(9 + x) = 60 ( divide both sides by 4 )

9 + x = 15 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 6 m

A box contains 10 transistors, 4 of which are defective. If 3 are sold at random, find the probability that exactly 1 are defect
Readme [11.4K]
I'd say around 10%
4 out of 10 = 40%
3 out of the 10 are sold = 30%
1 out of the 3 might be bad = 10%
I may be wrong.
