3a=2790
\n" ); document.write( "a=2790/3=930\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8w=10160
\n" ); document.write( "w=10160/8=1270\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1270-930=340
\n" ); document.write( "340/2=170 speed of wind\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "930+170=1100 speed of plane
\n" ); document.write( "1270-170=1100 speed of plane\r
