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.

Pls help me!! I just need help on both of the following questions, a-d on each
Ymorist [56]
I'll do a and e on the first one to show you how to do it

Then See if you can do the rest

a. 6(-3)<span><span>
</span></span>
When your multiplying or dividing with negative numbers; If one of your numbers is negative like the one above, your answer will be negative

So 6 × 3 = 18 ; but since there is a negative on the 3 your answer will be -18

e. -20 ÷ 5

same for this; 20 ÷ 5 = 4, but since the 20 is negative the answer will be <span>-4

You do b, c, d, and f on the first question. Tell me what you get and we'll go from there

</span>Now for the second question <span>

</span>I will do a and d to show you how to do this then you do the rest<span> (I'm inserting a picture with these)

</span>a. 4(-2 \frac{1}{3}) + 7 \frac{1}{6}
First go ahead and turn the fractions into improper fractions, this makes them a bit easier to work with. When multiplying fractions; they do not need a common denominator, all you do is multiply top by top and bottom by bottom.<span>
However, when you add and subtract fractions you MUST have a common denominator

</span>d. (-4.25)(2) + (-4.25)(-2)
remember from the first problem a negative times a positive gives you a negative<span>

but when you times a negative by a negative you get a positive


Now you try b and c; let me know what you get, and we'll go from there!

The weekly salary of a store manager includes a $30 bonus plus the number of hours the manager works multiplied by the managers
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Yes. The situation is defined by a linear function.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The weekly salary of a store manager includes a $30 bonus plus the number of hours the manager works multiplied by the managers earnings per hour.  

Is this situation defined by a linear function?

Yes, the above given situation is defined by a linear function.

Now, let us see the linear equation for above situation

Let the number of hours worked by manager be "x", and cost per hour be "c" and total salary be "y"

Then, total salary is given as,

Total salary = $ 30 bonus + number of hours worked \times cost per hour

\rightarrow \mathrm{y}=30+\mathrm{x} \times \mathrm{c}\\\\ \rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{c} \mathrm{x}+30

Above equation is a linear equation as "c" is constant ( cost per hour )

Hence, the given situation can be defined by linear function.
