An airplane flies 3/4 of a mile in 1/8 of a minute what is the airplane speed in miles per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Use proportions to figure this out.  On the top you'll have miles and on the bottom you'll have minutes.  I am going to change 3/4 to .75 and 1/8 to .125:

We want to know how many miles per 1 minute that is.  So we have the unknown on top in a new ratio, with 1 on the bottom:

This second ratio is allowing us to calculate what the decimal ratio is in miles per 1 minute.  Cross multiply to get

.125x = .75 so

x = 6 miles

That tells us that the decimal ratio is equivalent to 6 miles per minute

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
