Answer:
x = 5m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance flying out = 12 km (headwind)
Distance flying back = 12 km (tailwind)
total distance = 12 + 12 =24 km
wind speed = 1km/h
speed going out (with headwind) = (x - 1) km/h
speed coming back (with tailwind) = (x + 1) km/h
Time taken to go out = distance going out / speed going out
= 12 / (x-1)
Time taken to come back = distance coming back / speed coming back
= 12 / (x+1)
total time = time taken to go out + time taken to come back
5 =[ 12/(x-1) ] + [ 12/(x-1)]
expanding this, we will get
5x² - 24x - 5 = 0
solving quadratic equation, we will get
x = -1/5 (impossible because speed cannot be negative)
or
x = 5 (answer)
Answer:
The answer to your question is 
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we must use proportions
92 ---------------------- 100
x ---------------------- 20
Use cross multiplication to solve this proportion

Answer:
21% of the animals are female
Step-by-step explanation:
In total:
There are 40 + 60 = 100 animals.
Female animals.
40 dogs. Of those, 15% are female. So 0.15*40 = 6.
60 cats. Of those, 25% are female. So 0.25*60 = 15.
21 female animals.
21/100 = 0.21 = 21%
21% of the animals are female
Answer:
67 students voted for the eagle
Step-by-step explanation:
The students at Woodward Elementary voted for a school mascot. The falcon won with 5/8 of the votes and the eagle came second with 1/3 of the remaining votes. If 536 students voted for a mascot, how many students voted for the eagle
Total students who voted = 536
Falcon won with 5/8 of the votes
5/8 of 536
=5/8 × 536
= 2,680/8
= 335 votes
Falcons won with 335 votes
Remaining votes = Total votes - falcons votes
= 536 - 335
= 201 votes
There are 201 votes remaining
Eagle came second with 1/3 of the remaining votes
1/3 of the remaining votes
= 1/3 × 201
= 201/3
= 67 votes
67 students voted for the eagle
