with a tail wind, a small aircraft can fly 600 miles in 3 hours. against this same wind, the plane can fly the same distance in 4 hours. find the average wind wind speed and the average airspeed of the plane

Respuesta :

Answer:

200 MPH (miles per hour) - Average Speed.

about... 50-100 MPH wind speed.

Step-by-step explanation:


Answer:

avg wind speed: 25 mph

avg airspeed: 175 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed with wind: 200mph

speed against wind: 150 mph

x: avg airspeed

y: avg wind speed

with wind: x+y=200

against wind: x-y=150

add the equations to get 2x=350

solve for x:

x=175

plug 175 in for x to get y=25
