Question 1154734: If a plane can travel 460460 miles per hour with the wind and 400400 miles per hour against the wind, find the speed of the wind and the speed of the plane in still air.
What is the speed of the wind? Mph
Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The speed with the wind is the wind speed added to the plane's speed; the speed against the wind is the wind speed subtracted from the plane's speed. So the difference between the two speeds is twice the speed of the wind.
460-400 = 60; 60/2 = 30
ANSWER: The wind speed is 30mph.
