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 .9 hours. What is the plane's speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing?

Answer:

90 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate speed, distance, or time using the formula d = st, distance equals speed times time. The Speed Distance Time Calculator can solve for the unknown sdt value given two known values.

Time can be entered or solved for in units of seconds (s), minutes (min), hours (hr), or hours and minutes and seconds (hh:mm:ss).  

To solve for distance use the formula for distance d = st, or distance equals speed times time.

distance = speed x time

Rate and speed are similar since they both represent some distance per unit time like miles per hour or kilometers per hour. If rate r is the same as speed s, r = s = d/t. You can use the equivalent formula d = rt which means distance equals rate times time.

distance = rate x time

To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time.

speed = distance/time

To solve for time use the formula for time, t = d/s which means time equals distance divided by speed.

time = distance/speed

Plane speed in still air: 120mph

Wind speed: 30pmh

Speed of plane to Bismarck: 90mph

Speed of plane to Fargo: 150mph

Lerok [7]

Answer:

y= 2/3 x

Step-by-step explanation:

point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-0 = 2/3 (x-0)

y = 2/3(x)

y= 2/3 x
