Answer:

The speed of wind is 30 miles/hour

Speed of plane in still air is 108 miles /hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled by plane to Bangkok =  1794 miles

The trip there was with the wind. Time taken = 13 hours.

The trip back was into the wind. The trip back took 26 hours.

Let s = plane speed in still air

let w = speed of the wind

(s+w) = speed of plane with wind

(s-w) = speed of plane against wind

Distance = Speed * Time

When the trip was with the wind .

⇒1794 =(s+w)\times13

⇒\frac{1794}{13}=s+w

⇒138=s+w ---1

When The trip back was into the wind.

⇒1794 =(s-w)\times23  

⇒\frac{1794}{23}=s-w

⇒78=s-w ---2

Add 1 and 2

⇒s+w+s-w =138+78

⇒2s =216

⇒s=\frac{216}{2}

⇒s=108

To find w substitute the value of s in 1

⇒138=108+w

⇒138-108=w

⇒30=w

Thus the speed of wind is 30 miles/hour

Speed of plane in still air is 108 miles /hour

468 plus 624 times 7 divided by 4 and you should get the amount of water in the two tanks
