Answer:

1 3/8   D

Step-by-step explanation:

The first and most obvious part of the answer is that the paper clip is at least 1 inch long. The question is how much longer?

It is between 1/4 of an inch and 1/2 of an inch. In fact it is exactly half way between them.

So that resembles an average.

(1/4 + 1/2)/2 = (1/4 + 2/4) / 2 = (3/4)/2

\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{2} = \frac{\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{2}{1} }

Now the trick is to invert the denominator (make it 1/2) and multiply

3/4 * 1/2 = 3/8

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

  • 84 mph and 28 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of plane is p and speed of the wind is w.

<u>Then we have:</u>

  • 10*(p + w) = 1120 ⇒ p + w = 112
  • 20*(p - w) = 1120 ⇒ p - w = 56

<u>Sum the two equations and solve for p:</u>

  • p + w + p - w = 112 + 56
  • 2p = 168
  • p = 84

<u>Find w:</u>

  • 84 + w = 112
  • w = 112 - 84
  • w = 28
