Question

If Bert the Bat travels eastward at 40 mph with a tailwind of 6 mph, what is his actual speed?

Answer 1

36 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now Albert here is using the wind to his advantage but if say there was no wind then he would not have the 6 mph behind him so we subtract 6 from 40 to get 36. hope this helps :)
