Equations/265578: An airplane flew for 8 hours at an airspeed of x miles per hour (mph),and for 7 more hours at 325 mph.If the average for the entire flight was 350 mph, which equations could be used to find x? 1 solutions
Answer 195306 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-02-04 17:26:08 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!D=RT
D=8X
D=7*325
(8X+7*325)/15=350
(8X+2,275)/15=350 CROSS MULTIPLY
8X+2,275=15*350
8X+2,275=5,250
8X=5,250-2,275
8X=2,975
X=2,975/8
X=371.875 MPH. FOR THE 8 HOUR LEG.
2,975+2,275=5,250 IS THE TOTAL DISTANCE
5,250=R(8+7)
5,250=15R
R=5,250/15
R=350 MPH. IS THE AVERAGE SPEED.

D=1.5T UP THE MOUNTAIN.
D=4.5(6-T) DOWN THE MOUNTAIN
SET THE DISTANCES EQUAL & SOLVE FOR THE TIME.
1.5T=4.5(6-T)
1.5T=27-4.5T
1.5T+4.5T=27
6T=27
T=27/6
T=4.5 HOURS FOR THE TIME GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN.
D=1.5*4.5=6.75 MILES IS THE DISTANCE UP THE MOUNTAIN.
PROOF:
6.75=4.5(6-4.5)
6.75=4.5*1.5
6.75=6.75
