An airplane travels 870 miles in 3 hours with the wind. That same plane traveled 690 miles against the wind. How fast was the plane flying and how fast was the wind?
\n" ); document.write( "===============
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming the 690 miles also took 3 hours:
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the 2 groundspeeds, downwind and upwind. The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Windspeed is the difference between groundspeed and airspeed.
