Question 450509: If a plane can travel 480 miles per hour with the wind and 440 mph against the wind, find the speed of the plane without a wind and the speed of the wind. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The plane's airspeed is the average = (480+440)/2 = 460 mph
The windspeed is the difference = 480 - 460 = 20 mph
