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.

John dana and douglas painted a room
they have combined effort so
john+dana+douglas=total room

total room=100%=1/1=1
so 1 whole=8/8 so
2/8 is painted by john so they don't need to paint that so
so
2/8+dana+douglas=8/8
subtract 2/8 frm both sides
dana+dogluas=(8-2)/8=6/8
dana+douglas=6/8
dana painted same as douglas so divide by 2
dana=douglas=3/8


so A is 6/8 or 3/4
B is 2/8+3/8+3/8=8/8 or 2/8+dana+douglas=8/8
