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.

Arun took a taxi from his house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $4 plus $4.25 per mile. The total fare
Natasha2012 [34]

Here we must write and solve a linear equation to find the number of miles that Arun traveled in the taxi. We will find that Eva traveled 11 miles.

So we know that the taxi charges a fee of $4.10 and then a plus of $0.50 per mile.

So if you travel for m miles, the cost equation is:

C(m) = $4.10 + $0.50*m

Now, we know that for Eva the total fare (total cost) was $9.60, then we need to solve:

$9.60 = C(m) = $4.10 + $0.50*m

$9.60 = $4.10 + $0.50*m

$9.60 - $4.10 = $0.50*m

$5.50 = $0.50*m

$5.50/$0.50 = m = 11

This means that Arun traveled 11 miles in the taxi.
