Let the speed of the plane in still air be ( p ) miles per hour, and the speed of the wind be ( w ) miles per hour. With a tailwind, the effective speed is ( p + w ) and it covers 240 miles in 3 hours, giving the equation ( p + w = 80 ) (since ( 240/3 = 80 )). Against the wind, the effective speed is ( p - w ), and it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance, leading to ( p - w = 60 ) (since ( 240/4 = 60 )). Solving these two equations, we find ( p = 70 ) miles per hour.

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
