Question

Christie pilots her plane for 360 mi against a headwind in 33 hrs. The flight would take 22 hrs and 15 mins with a tailwind of the same speed. Find the headwind and the speed of the plane in still air.

Answer 1

d = rt

360 = (x -t)33
360= (x+t)22.25

360 = 33x-33t
360 = 22.5x - 22.5t

Can you solve from here?

Answer 2
