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.

Answer:

1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio r  is 1/5 and the first term a1 = (1/5)^(1-1) = 1.

Sum to infinity =  a1 / (1 - r)

=  1 / (1 - 1/5)

= 1 / 4/5

= 5/4

= 1.25 (answer)

(a) Draw the net of a cube with sides 4 cm;
Lemur [1.5K]
A) draw a cube
i) 16cm
ii) 80 cm
b)64 cm
Ok so draw the outline of a cube with 4cm each. There is six sides and the area is just multiplying 4 by 4. So, since the area of each side is 16, and there is 6 sides, the surface area is 80 cm. The volume is just length x width x height (4x4x4) so it’s 64 cm cubed.
