An airplane whose speed in still air is 760km/h can travel 2000km with the wind in the same amount of time that it takes to fly 1800km against the wind. What is the speed of the wind? This question is from textbook Algebra Structure and Method

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You want to find out what the km/hour is so...
You can use dimensional analysis:

(1800km)(760km/hour)
-----------
(2000km)
=684km/h
Your km units cancel and your left with the speed km/h.
