Algebra.Com's Answer #824843 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! When a plane flies with the wind, it can travel 1680 miles in 4 hours. When the plane flies in the opposite direction, against the wind, it takes 5 hours to fly the same distance. Find the rate of the plane in still air and the rate of the wind.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The rate of the wind is ____ miles per hour. \n" ); document.write( "========================================== \n" ); document.write( "Find the 2 groundspeeds, downwind and upwind. \n" ); document.write( "The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2. \n" ); document.write( "======== \n" ); document.write( "Windspeed = difference between airspeed and groundspeed. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
