Question

#8 (picture attached) With a headwind a plane traveled 1000 miles in four hours with the same weekend as a tail when they return trip took 3hours and 20 minutes find the planes airspeed and the wind speed

Answer 1

Answer: The speed of the plane is 275 m/h and that of the wind, is 25 m/h.

Explanation:

1000/4 = 250 mph

1000/(10/3) = 300 mph

The plane's airspeed is the average (250 + 300)/2 = 275 mph

The windspeed is the difference, 275 - 250 = 25 mph
