Answer:

The time of a commercial airplane is 280 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the speed of a commercial airplane

y ----> the speed of a jet plane

t -----> the time that a jet airplane takes from Vancouver to Regina

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

y=2x ----> equation A

The speed of a commercial airplane is equal to

x=1,730/(t+140) ----> equation B

The speed of a jet airplane is equal to

y=1,730/t -----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

1,730/t=2(1,730/(t+140))

Solve for t

1/t=(2/(t+140))

t+140=2t

2t-t=140

t=140 minutes

The time of a commercial airplane is

t+140=140+140=280 minutes

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the rectangle in the attachment.

Current scale:

1 cm : 6 inches

If the dimensions of the rectangle is:

Length = a cm

Width = b cm

Using the scale:

Length = a × 6 inches

Width = b × 6 inches

Using the same dimensions of the rectangle is:

Length = a cm

Width = b cm

Using the scale:

Length = a × 12 inches

Width = b × 12 inches

Note that there is an enlargement of the rectangle to form the new rectangle. The length and width of new rectangle drawn will be 2 × the length and width of the rectangle seen below.
