Algebra.Com's Answer #730225 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A plane takes 6 hours to fly from Vancouver to Toronto, and 5 hours to return back. The wind velocity is 50 kilometers per hour, from Toronto to Vancouver. What is the speed of the airplane? \n" ); document.write( "=========== \n" ); document.write( "\"to return back.\" is redundant. \n" ); document.write( "Just say \"to return.\" \n" ); document.write( "============ \n" ); document.write( "Not enough info to solve. \n" ); document.write( "Knowing the distance would make it solvable. \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "50 km/hr is not a velocity, it's a speed since the direction is not given. \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "PS Wind speed and plane's speed (airspeed) use knots, not km/hr. \n" ); document.write( "===================== \n" ); document.write( "People who don't know the subject matter should not try to author math problems. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
