Flying against the wind, a jet travels 3000 miles in 4 hours. Flying with the wind, the same jet travels 7500 miles in 6 hours. What is the rate of the jet in still air and what is the rate of the wind? g

The rate of the jet in still air is 1125 miles per hour, and the rate of the wind is 375 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flying against the wind, the speed of the airplane is 750 miles per hour (3000/4), while flying with a downwind, its speed is 1500 miles per hour (7500/6). Therefore, the difference between the two speeds is 750 miles per hour, so since the distance traveled is the same, the midpoint between the two speeds is 375 miles per hour. Then, without wind, the plane would travel the same distances at a speed of 1125 miles per hour.

In conclusion, the rate of the jet in still air is 1125 miles per hour, and the rate of the wind is 375 miles per hour.

answer: both chords and diameters have two endpoints on a circle. diameters must intersect the center of a circle.

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.
