Question 1127800: The report (sound) of a gun moved at 367 yards per sec. with the wind and 353 yd. / sec. against the wind. Determine: 1)Velocity of sound, and 2)Rate of wind blowing.
Rate * Time = Distance
Rate with wind - 367 yds. / sec.
Against wind - 353 yds. / sec.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The report (sound) of a gun moved at 367 yards per sec. with the wind and 353 yd. / sec. against the wind.
Determine: 1)Velocity of sound
It's the average of upwind and downwind speeds
= (367 + 353)/2 = 360
============
and 2)Rate of wind blowing.
The difference = 367 - 360 = 7
------
