Algebra.Com's Answer #463268 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! with the tail wind a small airplane traveled 420 miles in 1 hour and 30 minutes the return trip against the same wind took 30 minutes longer find the wind speed and the air speed of the plane \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "d = r*t \n" ); document.write( "r = d/t \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Find the 2 groundspeeds. The airspeed is the average of the 2. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "The windspeed is the difference between airspeed and groundspeed. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
