Answer:

wind speed =  25  miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = speed of the wind

speed with the wind = 255 + a , since the wind is not against him

speed against the wind = 255 - a

travel time is same for against and withe wind

therefore,

speed = distance/time

time = distance/time

448/255 + a = 368/255 - a

cross multiply

448(255 - a) = 368(255 + a)

114240 - 448a = 93840  + 368a

114240 - 93840 = 448a + 368a

20400  = 816a

divide both sides by 816

a = 20400/816

a = 25  miles/hr

mihalych1998 [28]
Write the inequalities that are given by the :

<span>x: the number of batches of muffins

y: the number of batches of cakes

</span>Each batch of muffin requires 7 liters of milk and each batch of cakes require 4 liters of milk.

=> liters of milk use = 7x  + 4y

<span>Tania has 56 liters of milk.=> 7x + 4y ≤ 56

Which means that the amount of muffins and cakes made are limited by the availability of 56 liter of milk.

The inequality 7x + 4y ≤ 56 is graphed by drawing the line 7x + 4y = 56 and shading the region below that line.

The line 7x + 4y = 56 has these x and y intercepts:

y-intercept: x =0 => 4y = 56 => y = 56/4 => 14 => point (0,14)

x-intercept => y = 0 => 7x = 56 => x = 56/7= 8  => point (8,0)

So, the line passes through the poins (0,8) and (14,0) and the solution region is below that line.

Also, you know that x and y are restricted to be positive or zero =>

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0.

So, the solution region is restricted to the first quadrant.

That implies that the answer is:

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: The answer is Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given in the question that Radric was asked to define "parallel lines" and he said that parallel lines are lines in a plane that do not have any points in common. We are to decide whether Radric's definition is valid or not.

Parallel lines are defined as lines in a plane which never meets or any two lines in a plane which do not intersect each other at any point are called parallel.

Thus, Radric's definition is valid.

If (a^3+27)=(a+3)(a^2+ma+9) then m equals
Ronch [10]

Answer:

m = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a³ + 27 ← is a sum of cubes and factors in general as

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²), thus

a³ + 27

= a³ + 3³

= (a + 3)(a² - 3a + 9)

comparing a² - 3a + 9 to a² + ma + 9, then

m = - 3

A given set of values is found to be a normal distribution with a mean of 140 and a standard deviation of 18.0. Find the value t
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The value that is greater than 45% of the data values is approximately 137.84.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key is transforming values from this distribution to a z-score range and finding the corresponding value using a z-score table.

We are looking for a value x which attains a critical z-score that corresponds to the (100-45)%=55-th percentile:

z_{0.55} = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{x-140}{18}\implies x = 18\cdot z_{0.55}+140

The critical z value (from z-score table, online) is: -0.12, so:

x = 18\cdot z_{0.55}+140=18\cdot(-0.12)+140\approx137.84

The value that is greater than 45% of the data values is approximately 137.84.
