Algebra.Com's Answer #514084 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The airplane flies 1080 miles against the wind in 4 hours and the return trip takes 3 hours. Find the speed of the airplane with no wind and the speed of the wind. \n" ); document.write( " I know that it is d=r*t \n" ); document.write( " flying against the wind \n" ); document.write( " (A-W) *4= 1080 \n" ); document.write( " A-W= 1080/4= 270 \n" ); document.write( " flying with the wind \n" ); document.write( " (A+W)* 3= 1080 \n" ); document.write( " A+W=1080/4= 360 ******** 1080/3 = 360 \n" ); document.write( " Is this correct?
