with no wind blowing, a plane travels at 240 mph. if a plane travels 810 miles with a wind in the same time it travels 630 miles against the wind, what is the speed of the wind
Solution
D=RT OR T=D/R
 T=810/(240+W)
 T=630/(240-W)
 810/(240+W)=630/(240-W)
 810(240-W)=630(240+W)
 194,400-810W=151,200+630W
 -810W-630W=151,200-194,400
 -1,440W=-43,200
 W=-43,200/-1,440
 W=30 MPH. IS THE SPEED OF THE WIND.
 PROOF:
 810/(240+30)=630/(240-30)
 810/270=630/210
 3=3
