A small plane flew 808 miles in 4 hours with the wind. Then on the return trip flying against the wind it travels only 488 miles in 4 hours. What were the wind velocity and speed of the plane?

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let wind velocity=x

speed of plane=y

(x+y)*4=808

x+y=808/4=202   ...(1)

(y-x)*4=488

y-x=122 ...(2)

add (1) and (2)

2y=202+122=324

y=324/2=162

from (1)

x+162=202

x=202-162=40

wind velocity=40 m/hr

speed of plane=162 m/hr
