A small plane flew 1050 miles in 5 hours with the wind. Then on the return trip, flying against the wind, it traveled only 640 miles in 5 hours. What were the wind velocity and the speed of the plane?
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the 2 groundspeeds, upwind and downwind.
\n" ); document.write( "The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2.
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Windspeed is the difference between airspeed and groundspeed.
