D=RT
\n" ); document.write( "1,650=R*3
\n" ); document.write( "R=1.650/3
\n" ); document.write( "R=550 MPH INTO THE WIND.
\n" ); document.write( "1,300=R*2
\n" ); document.write( "R=1,300/2
\n" ); document.write( "R=650 MPH WITH THE WIND.
\n" ); document.write( "(650-550)/2=100/2=50 MPH. IS THE RSTE OF THE WIND.
\n" ); document.write( "550+50=600 MPH. IS THE SPEED OF THE PLABVE IN STILL AIR.
\n" ); document.write( "650-50=600 DITTO.
