A crow flies 10.5 miles against the wind then returns with the wind. the first flight takes 35 minuets and the return flight takes 15 minuets. how many miles per minuet does the crow fly? how fast in the wind flowing?
----------------
A minuet is a dance from the 17-18th century. Maybe you mean minutes?
--------
10.5 miles in 35 mins = 0.3 mi/minute
10.5 miles in 15 mins = 0.7 mi/minute
-------
The crow's speed is the average, (0.3 + 0.7)/2 = 0.5 miles/minute
The windspeed is the difference, 0.7 - 0.5 = 0.2 mi/minute
