upwind speed = 750 - v
downwind speed = 750 + v
total time = 2 hr 24 in = 2 24/60 = 2.40 hours
if upwind time is t
(750-v)t = 800
(750+v)(2.4 - t) = 800
eliminate t, solve for v
downwind speed = 750 + v
total time = 2 hr 24 in = 2 24/60 = 2.40 hours
if upwind time is t
(750-v)t = 800
(750+v)(2.4 - t) = 800
eliminate t, solve for v
