A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck.. (word problem)

Question

A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota --- a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into a head wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1 hour and 0 minutes. What is the plane's speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing? his plane speed equals HOW MANY mph? The wind speed equals HOW MANY mph?

Answer 1

that gi dont no how tu reed a map... yesterdae yu flied tween same 2 plaeses & distans was 120 miles.. tudae its 180 miles & take 2 ours with wind (same as yesterdae)... but return take 1 our (lot faster than yesterdae)... with wind speed...180 mile/1 our, so speed=180 MPH... ginst wind: speed=180/2=90 MPH... x+y=180... x-y=90... 2x=270, so x=135...plane speed=135 MPH... wind=180-135=45
