Question 1106934: Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 6300km in 7 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 11,200km in 8 hours. What is the rate of the plane in still air and what is the rate of the wind?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The speed against the wind is 6300/7=900 km/h
With it is 11200/8=1400 km/h
x+w=1400
x-w=900
2x=2300
x=1150 km/h speed of plane
w=250 km/h speed of wind
