<PRE><B>Question 1123476</B>
I a plane travels 70 miles in 20 minutes. What is the air speed?
===========
To find miles per minute, divide the miles by the minutes.
------
Many factors are not mentioned.  Was is 70 miles over the ground?  If so, the wind speed and direction have to be considered.
----------
If it covered 70 miles over the ground in 20 minutes, its GROUNDSPEED was 70/20 miles/minute.  No way to know the airspeed.
----------
People who don&#39;t know what they&#39;re talking about should not attempt to write math problems.  Or anything else.
