Question 371416: A turboprop plane flying with the wind flew 600 mi in 3 h. Flying against the wind, the plane required 5 h to travel the same distance. Find the rate of the wind and the rate of the plane in calm air Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The "rate in calm air" is the airspeed.
It's the average of the 2 groundspeeds.
The windspeed is the difference between airspeed and groundspeed.
