Question

A jet travels
6759mi
against the wind in
9
hours and
8469mi
with the wind in the same amount of time. What is the rate of the jet in still air and what is the rate of the wind?

Answer 1

With the wind, the jet is aided by the wind. Against the wind, it is hampered by it.

 

6759/9 = 751

8469/9 = 941

 

(941 + 751)/2 = 846

 

941 - 846 + 846 - 751 = 95

 

The jet travels 846 mph in still air and the wind speed is 95 mph. Flying through a hurricane?
