Question 442397: An airplane travels 3594 km against the wind in 6 hours and 4194 km with the wind in the same amount of time. What is the rate of the plane in still air and what is the rate of the wind? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3594+4194/12=649.
3594/6=599
4194/6=699
The rate of the plane in still air is 649kph. It goes 50kph slower against the wind and 50kph faster with the wind. Therefore, the wind speed is 50kph..
