when an airplane flies with the wind it travels 1200 miles in 3 hours. against the wind, it takes 4 hours to cover the same distace. let x= the planes rate in still air and let y= the rate of the wind. find the plens rate in still wind and the rate of the wind.
-------------------
Find the groundspeed upwind and downwind.
The plane's airspeed is the average.
------
Windspeed is the difference between airspeed and groundspeed.
