Big plane.

A six-passenger plane cruises in 180 mph at calm air. If the plane flies 7 miles with the wind in the same amount of time as it flies 5 miles against the wind, then what is the wind speed?

✔ 最佳答案

Let x miles/h be the wind speed.

Speed of the plane flying with the wind = (180 + x) miles/h

Speed of the plane flying against the wind = (180 - x) miles/h


Time taken = Distance / speed

7/(180 + x) = 5/(180 - x)

7(180 - x) = 5(180 + x)

1260 - 7x = 900 + 5x

-7x - 5x = 900 - 1260

-12x = -360

12x = 360

x = 30


Ans: The wind speed is 30 mph.
=
