1680/6=280 MPH IS THE SPEED WITH THE WIND.
\n" ); document.write( "1680/7=240 MPH IS THE SPEED AGAINST THE WIND.
\n" ); document.write( "(280-240)/2=X
\n" ); document.write( "40/2=X
\n" ); document.write( "20=X OR THE SPEED OF THE WIND.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "280-20=240+20
\n" ); document.write( "260=260 ANS. FOR THE CRUISING SPEED OF THE PLANE.
