Question 958506: Kevin flew his ultralight plane to a landing field 24 miles away. With the wind, the flight took 2/5 hour. Returning against the wind, the flight took 3/4 hour. Find the rate of plane in still air and the rate of the wind. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Kevin flew his ultralight plane to a landing field 24 miles away. With the wind, the flight took 2/5 hour. Returning against the wind, the flight took 3/4 hour. Find the rate of plane in still air and the rate of the wind.
================
Find the groundspeed going and returning.
The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2.
The windspeed is the difference between airspeed and groundspeed.
