Antonio flies from Houston to Philadelphia, a distance of about 1340 miles. His plane travels with the wind and takes 2 hours and 20 minutes. At the same time, Paul is on a plane from Philadelphia to Houston. Since his plane is heading against the wind, Paul´s flight takes 2 hours and 50 minutes. What was the speed of the wind in miles per hour?
