Question 1050351
A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota --- a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into a head wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1 hour 12 minutes. What is his speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing?
--------------
Find the 2 groundspeeds upwind and downwind using d = r*t
---
The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2.
Windspeed = difference between airspeed and groundspeed.
