Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of hurricanes in year 2008 = 8
Number of hurricanes in year 2009 = 3
Decrease in number of hurricanes = 8 - 3 = 5
Percent of decrease in number of hurricanes = 
= 62.5%
Number of hurricanes in year 2010 = 12
Number of hurricanes in year 2011 = 7
Decrease in number of hurricanes = 12 - 7 = 5
Percentage decrease in number of hurricanes = 
= 41.7%
Decrease in numbers of hurricanes in year 2010 - 11 was same as in year 2010 - 11.
Percentage decrease in hurricanes were more in year 2008 - 09 than percentage decrease in year 2010 - 11.
Answer:
A) 3/50
Step-by-step explanation:
2 + 5 + 3 = 10
Probability of drawing red = 2/10 = 1/5
Probability of drawing blue = 3/10
3/50
When x=-2, y=4x = 4(-2) = -8 .
Hence the sum of the finite Arithmetic series is: 24.4
Answer:
The speed of the airplane in still air is 550 mph.
The speed of the wind is 50 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = distance / time
distance = speed * time
or simply
d = st
Let v be the speed of the airplane with no wind.
Let w = speed of wind
With the wind:
d = 1800; s = v + w; t = 3
1800 = 3(v + w)
Against the wind:
d = 1800; s = v - w; t = 3.6
1800 = 3.6(v - w)
We have a system of two equations:
3(v + w) = 1800
3.6(v - w) = 1800
Divide both sides of the first equation by 3. Divide both sides of the second equation by 3.6.
v + w = 600
v - w = 500
Add the equations.
2v = 1100
v = 550
The speed of the airplane in still air is 550 mph.
v + w = 600
550 + w = 600
w = 50
The speed of the wind is 50 mph.
