Same problem, different numbers.
==============================================
an airplane, flying with a tail wind, travels 2000 miles in five hours. The return trip, against the wind, takes eight hours. Find the cruising speed of the plane and the speed of the wind (assuming that both rates are constant)
==================
find the 2 groundspeeds, downwind and upwind.
The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2.
----
Windspeed = difference between airspeed and groundspeed.
