What is his speed and the wind speed

A man flies a small airplane from cargo 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 and 12 minutes . What is his speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing .?
