Algebra.Com's Answer #469440 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A jet can travel 6800 km distance between NY and Paris in 6 hours 48 minutes with the wind. The return trip against the same wind takes 8 hours. Find the rate of the jet in still air and the rate of the wind. \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Find the groundspeeds both ways. \n" ); document.write( "d = r*t \n" ); document.write( "r = d/t \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2. \n" ); document.write( "The windspeed is the difference between airspeed & groundspeed. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
