Answer:

  • commercial: 540 mph
  • private: 360 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Time is inversely proportional to speed for the same distance covered. The ratio of commercial to private speeds is ...

  2.4 : 1.6 = 3 : 2

If p is the speed of the private plane, then 3/2p is the speed of the commercial plane and the difference of speeds is ...

  3/2p -p = 180

  1/2p = 180 . . . collect terms

  p = 360 . . . . . . speed of the private plane

  3/2p = 540 . . . . speed of the commercial plane

The commercial jet flies 540 mph; the private plane flies 360 mph.

25 is 36% of what number
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

x = 69.44

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 36% × x = 25

or, 36/100 × x = 25

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 36,

we have x = 25 × 100/36

x = 69.44

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 25×100÷36, which will give you the answer.

Multiply. Express your answer in simplest form.
kodGreya [7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) First, you need to take the whole numbers (9 and 1) and set them aside.

2.) Multiply the numerators from each fraction by one another. The numerators are the numbers on the top of the fraction. (Whatever you get on that will be the numerator of the answer!)

3.) Multiply the denominators by each other as well. The denominators are the numbers on the bottom. This will be the denominator of your answer.

4.) Now, you need to multiply your whole numbers (9 and 1) together.

5.) Then, simplify or reduce your answer. (this can't be simplified, as it is already in its simplest form)

Your answer will be 9 1/66.

Your work should look like this in the end:

2(1/4x + 4) = 3(x -2) PLZ HELP
frozen [14]
Distribute 2 and remove parentheses :
1/2x+8=3x-6
Multiply both sides of equation by 2:
x+16=6x-12
Move terms:
x+16-6x=-12
x-6x=-12-16
Collect like terms:
-5x=-28
Divide both sides:
x=28/5
