Answer:

The speed of the wind is 48.56

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the following formula to calculate the distance:

distance = speed x time

Let w represent the speed of the wind.

If the plane flies with the wind, the speed will be the speed of the plane + the speed of wind. Since it can fly 910 miles, and the speed of the plane is 305

910 = (305 + w) x time (1)

If the plane flies against the wind, the speed will be the speed of the plane - the speed of wind. Since it can fly 660 miles, and the speed of the plane is 305

660 = (305 - w) x time (2)

Since the time is equal for both equation in 1 and 2:

\frac{910}{305+w} = \frac{660}{305-w}

→ 910(305-w) = 660(305+w)

→ 277550 - 910 w = 201300 + 660w

→ 1570w = 76250

→ w = 48.56
