Very interesting. This was obviously a Wonderland Airlines flight, on a route where a tailwind

slowed them down and a headwind sped them up.

But we understand what you're trying to say.

6 (S - 25) = 5 (S + 25)

Eliminate parentheses:

6S - 150 = 5S + 125

Add 150 to each side:

6S = 5S + 275

Subtract 5S from each side:

S = 275

When the wind helps, ground speed is 300, the craft covers 1,500 in 5 hours.

When the wind hurts, ground speed is 250, the craft covers 1,500 in 6 hours.

An airplane flew for 4 hours with a 20 km hr tailwind The return flight against the same wind took 5 hours Find the speed of the airplane in still air?

Let the speed of the airplane in still air be represented by V.Velocity = Distance ÷ Time, thus Distance = Velocity x Time.D = 4(V + 20) = 5(V - 20), then 4V + 80 = 5V - 100 : V = 180 kphThe speed in still air is 180kph

An airplane flies 1000 km in 4 hours what is its average speed?

To calculate the average speed of the airplane, you divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken. In this case, the airplane flies 1000 km in 4 hours. Therefore, the average speed is 1000 km ÷ 4 hours = 250 km/h.

How far can an airplane fly in 3 hours and it's average speed is 800 kmh?

To find out how far an airplane can fly in 3 hours at an average speed of 800 km/h, you can use the formula: distance = speed × time. By substituting the values, the calculation is: distance = 800 km/h × 3 hours = 2400 km. Therefore, the airplane can fly 2400 kilometers in 3 hours.


An airplane flies 840 mi in 3 hours with a tail wind The return trip at the same airspeed takes 3.5 hours Find the wind speed and the airspeed?

u said airspeed remains the same, so 840 mi in 3 hrs the groundspeed is 280, for the return trip groundspeed is 240, therfore the wind speed is 40


An airplane flies from its home airport to a city and back in 5hrs flryjng time. The plane travels the 720 mi to the city at 295 mih with no wind. How strong is the wind on the return fight?

The airplane travels 720 miles to the city at a speed of 295 mph, taking approximately 2.44 hours (720 mi ÷ 295 mph). The total round trip time is 5 hours, so the return flight must take about 2.56 hours (5 hrs - 2.44 hrs). If we let the wind speed be ( w ), the return speed becomes ( 295 - w ). Thus, the equation for the return flight is ( 720 = (295 - w) \times 2.56 ). Solving for ( w ) gives a wind speed of approximately 34.84 mph.
