Question 184514: A plane's air speed is 450 km/h, With a tail wind , the plane traveled 1050 km/h. On the return trip, the plane flew witha head wind that was 20km.h less than the tail wind. If the total flying time was 4.6 h, find the speed of the head wind Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
This makes no sense at all. If the plane has an air speed of 450 km/h, and the plane traveled at 1050 km/h with a tail wind then the tail wind had to be 600 km/h. The fastest wind ever recorded in a hurricane is 190 miles per hour which is about 305 km/h hence a 600 km/h tail wind is utterly absurd.
