You can put this solution on YOUR website! Traveling 380 miles with the wind at 220 mph and 315 against the wind. how fast is the wind?
let x=speed of plane against the wind
let c=speed of wind
travel time=distance/speed (with wind and against wind)
x≈182
220-182=38
c=38/2=19
How fast is the wind? 19 mph
