Question 313939: Please help me solve this equation world problem
If a plane can travel 480 miles per hour with the wind and 440 miles per hour against the wind, find the speed of the plane in still air Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! s+w=480
s-w=400 add,
--------------
2s=880
s=880/2
s=440 mph. speed of the plane in still air.
(480-440)=40 mph. speed of the wind.
