At maximum speed,an airplane travels 2400 miles against the wind in six hours.
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 2400 ; time = 6 hrs. ; rate = 2400/6 = 400 mph
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Flying with the wind, the plane can travel the same distance in 5 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 2400 ; time = 5 hrs ; rate = d/t = 480 mph
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "What is the speed of the plane with no wind?
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "p+w = 480 mph
\n" ); document.write( "p-w = 400 mph
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "2p = 880 mph
\n" ); document.write( "p = 440 mph (speed of the plane with no wind)
\n" ); document.write( "==============
