BECAUSE IT IS A ROUND TRIP THE AVERAGE FLIGHT TIME WITH THE WIND IS
\n" ); document.write( "(225+45) & against the wind the speed is (225-45).
\n" ); document.write( "now the first 1/2 of the trip is 1080 miles we get
\n" ); document.write( "(225+45)t=1080
\n" ); document.write( "270T=1080
\n" ); document.write( "T=1080/270
\n" ); document.write( "T=4 HOURS FOR THE FIRST 1/2 OF THE TRIP
\n" ); document.write( "(225-45)T=1080
\n" ); document.write( "180T=1080
\n" ); document.write( "T=1080/180
\n" ); document.write( "T=6 HOURS FOR THE SECOND 1/2 OF THE TRIP.
\n" ); document.write( "TOTALTIME IS 4+6=10HOURS
\n" ); document.write( "TOTAL DISTANCE IS 2160 AND THE TIME IS 10 HOURS THEN
\n" ); document.write( "2160=10R
\n" ); document.write( "R=2160/10
\n" ); document.write( "R=216 MPH IS THE AVERAGE SPEED FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
