When an eagle flies into a headwind (a wind blowing directly opposite to its direction), its effective speed decreases by the speed of the wind.
In this case, the eagle's average flying speed is 50 km/hr, and the wind speed is 25 km/hr.
To find the effective speed of the eagle flying into the wind, you subtract the wind speed from the eagle's speed:
\[
\text{Effective speed} = \text{Eagle's speed} - \text{Wind speed}
\]
\[
\text{Effective speed} = 50 \text{ km/hr} - 25 \text{ km/hr} = 25 \text{ km/hr}
\]
Therefore, the speed of the eagle when flying into a 25 km/hr wind would be 25 km/hr.
In this case, the eagle's average flying speed is 50 km/hr, and the wind speed is 25 km/hr.
To find the effective speed of the eagle flying into the wind, you subtract the wind speed from the eagle's speed:
\[
\text{Effective speed} = \text{Eagle's speed} - \text{Wind speed}
\]
\[
\text{Effective speed} = 50 \text{ km/hr} - 25 \text{ km/hr} = 25 \text{ km/hr}
\]
Therefore, the speed of the eagle when flying into a 25 km/hr wind would be 25 km/hr.
