An airplane flying with the wind takes 2 hours to travel a distance of 360 miles. The return trip takes 3 hours flying against the wind.

What is the speed of the airplane in still air and how fast is the wind blowing?

still air is 150mph. The wind speed is 30mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

X=speed of the plane, Y=speed of the wind.

360/2hours=180

360/3hours=120

2x=180+120

2x=300

X=150

The airplane in still air is 150mph

Add together

X+y=180

150+y=180

Y=180-150

Y=30mph

The wind speed is 30mph
