A small airplane makes a 2400 kilometer trip in 7.30 hours and makes the returned trip in six hours. If the plane travels at a constant speed wind blows at a constant rate, find the airplanes airspeed and the speed of the wind.

Respuesta :

The speed of the airplane is 360 km/h while the speed of the wind is 40 km/h.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let a represent the speed of the airplane and b represent the speed of the wind, hence:

(a + b)6 = 2400  

a + b = 400     (1)

Also:

(a - b)7.5 = 2400

a - b = 320   (2)

From eqn 1 and 2:

a = 360 km/h, b = 40 km/h

The speed of the airplane is 360 km/h while the speed of the wind is 40 km/h.
