Question

flying with the wind a plane went 307 mph. flying into the same wind the plane only went 243 mph. what is the speed of the wind? how fast would the plane go if there were no wind?

Answer 1

p + w = 307

p- w =243

2p = 550

p = plane's speed = 275 mph with no wind

wind speed = 307-275 = 32 mph
