Algebra.Com's Answer #208128 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The airspeed of the plane is the average = (600+500)/2 = 550 \n" ); document.write( "The windspeed is the difference = 600 - 550 = 50 \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "PS Airplanes don't use km/hr, they use knots. \n" ); document.write( "1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
