A light aircraft travels 6 miles per hour less than three times the speed of a van. If the van can travel 72 miles in the same time it takes the aircraft to travel 204 miles, then what is the average speed of each?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Van: 36 mph.

Plane: 102 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = speed of van

y = common time value

(3x - 6) * y = 204 // plane

x * y = 72 // van

3xy - 6y = 204 // plane simplified

We can now substitute 72 for xy in the equation above.

3*72 - 6y = 204 --> 216 - 6y = 204

We now subtract 216 from both sides.

-6y = -12

We now divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative sign & then divide both sides by 6 to simplify.

y = 2

If x*y = 72, then x = 72/y = 72/2 = 36.

Thus, the speed of the van is 36 mph.

We can find the speed of the plane by using the equation from earlier, 3x - 6.

3x - 6 = 3*36 - 6 = 108 - 6 = 102.

find the radius of a circle which has a sector of area 9 square meters determined by a central angle 1/3 radian​

Answers

Answer:

L = length of arc , R = radius

radian angle = L / R

L = R* radian angle

L = R * 1/3

L = R/3 #1

Area of sector = 1/2 L*R

By substitution using #1

Area of sector = 1/2 * R/3 * R

9 = R^2 /6

R^2= 6*9

R^2= 36

R =✓36

Divide 3m 80cm of ribbon in the ratio of 1/3 : 3/4 : 1/2 what is the result?​

Answers

Answer:

80 cm / 180 cm / 120 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the smallest common multiple of 3, 4 and 2 is 12.

so, to be able to truly compare these fractions we need to bring all denominators to .../12.

1/3 = 4/12

3/4 = 9/12

1/2 = 6/12

in total we have therefore 19 (4+9+6) equally large parts of the ribbon that are then combined :

4 parts for the first segment.

9 parts for the second segment

6 parts for the third segment.

so, one part is

380 cm / 19 = 20 cm

therefore the first segment of the ribbon is

4×20 = 80 cm long

the second segment

9×20 = 180 cm long

the third segment

6×20 = 120 cm long

Fred and Gina are playing tennis. The first player to win 2 sets wins their match. Fred has a 3/5 chance to win each set while Gina has a 2/5 chance. What is the probability that the match goes three sets until someone wins?

Answers

Answer:

60/125 which can be reduced to 12/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Gina wins

2/5 * 2/5 = 4/25

3/5 * 2*5 * 2/5 = 12 /125

2/5 * 3/5 * 2/5 = 12/125

Fred Wins

3/5 * 3/5 = 9/25

2/5 * 3/5 * 3/5 = 18/125

3/5 * 2/5 * 3/5 = 18/125

P(3 sets) = (18 + 18 + 12 + 12)/125 = 60/125

P(2 sets) = (20 + 45)/125 = 65/125

I found the probability of 2 sets so I could add the results together to see if the probability totals 1. It does. This question is done correctly.

Read each number from top to bottom. Each digit is in base 20, and as I pointed out in another question of yours, 1 bar = 5, 1 dot = 1, and disk = 0.

(47) Only 1 digit here, with 2 bars and 4 dots. So this is 14.

(49) 3 digits, in order from top to bottom: 19, 0, 6. So this number is

[19]06₂₀ = 19×20² + 0×20¹ + 6×20⁰ = 7606

(51) 3 digits: 8, 8, 8.

888₂₀ = 8×20² + 8×20¹ + 8×20⁰ = 3368

(53) 4 digits: 2, 0, 0, 11.

200[11]₂₀ = 2×20³ + 0×20² + 0×20¹ + 11×20⁰ = 16011

(55) 4 digits: 10, 10, 0, 10.

[10][10]0[10]₂₀ = 10×20³ + 10×20² + 0×20¹ + 10×20⁰ = 84010

(57) 6 digits: 5, 10, 0, 6, 2, 3.

5[10]0623₂₀ = 5×20⁵ + 10×20⁴ + 0×20³ + 6×20² + 2×20¹ + 3×20⁰ = 17602443

(59) 6 digits: 10, 5, 0, 0, 11, 4.

[10]500[11]4₂₀ = 10×20⁵ + 5×20⁴ + 0×20³ + 0×20² + 11×20¹ + 4×20⁰ = 32800224

-it is a 4 digit number.
-the vaule of the digit in the thousands place is 10 times greater than the value of the digit in the hundreds place.
-the least digit is in the tens place.
-the sun of the digits is 19. -the digit in the ones place is 4 more than the digit in the hundreds place.
-whats the mystery number?

Answers

Answer:

5539

Step-by-step explanation:

You should conclude that the number in the thousands place and the one in the 100s place are the same.

x * 1000 + x * 100 + y + x + 4

So you could sum the digits as

3x + y + 4 = 19   Subtract 4 from both sides

3x +  y = 15

x can be six           That means y = 1 which is OK

x can be five          That means y = 3 which is OK

Now we run into a little grief. Can x be 4? No

x cannot be 4          that would mean that y = 19 - 12 = 7 The tens digit is too big.

Come to think of it, x cannot be 6 because then the units digit will be 10 -- not possible.

So the answer is

1000*5 + 100*5 + 10*3 + 9

5539 is the answer.

Thanks for posting.

We want to find a 4-digit number that meets some given conditions. We will find two, which are:

4438 and 5509

A general 4-digit number can be written as:

a*1000 + b*100 + c*10 + d

Where a, b, c, and d are single-digit numbers.

a is the thousands digit

b is the hundreds digit

c is the tens digit

d is the units digit.

Here we know that:

"the value of the digit in the thousands place is 10 times greater than the value of the digit in the hundreds place."

So the first term is 10 times the second term, this means that:

(a*1000) = 10*(b*100)

a*1000 = b*1000

a = b

-the least (the smaller one) digit is in the tens place.

so:

c < a, b, d

- The sun of the digits is 19.

So:

a + b + c+ d = 19

-The digit in the ones place is 4 more than the digit in the hundreds place.

so:

d = b + 4

Now we can rewrite all of these conditions as:

b = ac < b, a, da + b + c + d = 19d = b + 4

Using the first one, we can replace all the b's by a's in the other conditions, so we have:

c <  a, d2a + c + d = 19d = a + 4

Now we can use the third equation and replace it in the second one to get:

2a + c + d = 19

2a + c + (a + 4) = 19

3a + c + 4 = 19

3a + c = 19 - 4

3a + c = 15

Now we need to remember that:

c < a.

So we can try with different values of a.

For example, if a = 3, then:

3*3 + c = 15

9 + c = 15

c = 15 - 9 = 6

here we have c > a, so we can discard this.

If a = 4, then:

3*4 + c = 15

12 + c = 15

c = 15 - 12 = 3

c < a

From this we can construct our number:

a = b = 4

c = 3

d = b + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8

Then the number is:

4438

If a = 5, then:

3*5 + c = 15

15 + c = 15

c = 15 - 15 = 0

c < a

So we also can have:

a = b = 5

c = 0

d = b + 4 = 9

Such that the number is:

5509

And if a is equal to or larger than 6 we have problems, because

3*6 + c = 15

18 + c =15

c = 15 -18 = -3

And c can't be a be a negative number.

So we can conclude that we found two 4-digit numbers that meet all the conditions, and these are:

4438 and 5509
