Mt.washington wind speed is 231 mi/h, its 298% faster than chicago wind, whats the wind speed in chicago?

Question

SHOW STEPS OF SLOVING PLEASE!

Answer 1

Around 58 MPH

Answer 2

i'm about 3 hours from Chicago and we also are lower than a wind advisory till 7pm. The speeds indexed decrease than are 25-35 mph gusting as a lot as 40 5-50 mph. So it is also very windy the following! lol

Answer 3

let the speed of wind in chicago be 'x' miles per hour
now
mountain's speed is 298% faster than that in chicago so

the speed of mountain is x + x*2.98=3.98x

that is 3.98 times the speed of wind of chicago

but the speed of mountain is given which is 231 miles/ hour

3.98x=231
x = 231/3.98 = 58.0402 miles per hour in chicago..

Answer 4

wind speed at Mt. Washington = 398% * wind speed at Chicago

Solve on your own. 398% because it says "its 298% faster than" which means it is 298% in addition to the 100%

now you should be able to solve this.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Let MW be the Mt.washington wind speed, and CHW the chicago wind speed, then what you know is that

231 mi/h = CHW + (298/100)*CHW
231 mi/h = 3.98*CHW
( 231 mi/h ) / 3.98 = CHW

=> CHW = 58 mi/h

I hope this helps.

Answer 6

298% x C = 231
C = 231/2.98
etc

Answer 7

(100 x 231)/398 = 23100/398, so about 58 mph

Answer 8

Please do your own HW...

its easy:

298/100 = 231/x ....

solve for x...

x = 23100/298 ... and if you can't solve that, well I have lost hope.

Answer 9

ratio is 398:100 then
it is (231/100)x231=58.3 miles/hour (app)

Answer 10

If something is 100% faster, then it is twice as fast...
If something is 200% faster, then it is tree times as fast...

Then you can calculate it yourself...
