An airplane travels 6903 kilometers against the wind in 9 hours and 8613 kilometers with the wind in the same amount of time. what is the rate of the plane?

The rate of the plane is 862 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

An airplane travels 6903 kilometers against the wind in 9 hours.

Speed = distance / time

Speed of the airplane while travelling against the wind is

6903/9 = 767 miles per hour

The airplane travelled 8613 kilometers with the wind in the same amount of time. This means that the speed while travelling with the wind will be

8613/9 = 957 miles per hour

Let x = speed of the airplane

Let y = speed of the wind

While travelling against the wind,

x - y = 767 - - - - - -- 1

While travelling with the wind,

x + y = 957 - - - - - - -2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1,

-y - y = 767 - 957

-2y = -190

y = -190/-2

y = 95 miles per hour

x = 957 - y

x = 957 - 95

x = 862 miles per hour

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
