Answer:

  • 12.92 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Speed of the wind = 3 mph
  • Speed in calm weather = x
  • Speed with the wind = x + 3
  • Speed against the wind = x - 3

<u>We know that:</u>

  • distance = time*speed or
  • time = distance / speed

<u>We have equal time in both cases so comparing d/s ratios:</u>

  • 30/(x - 3) = 56/(x + 3)

<u>Solve for x:</u>

  • 56(x - 3) = 30(x + 3)
  • 56x - 168 = 30x + 90
  • 56x - 30x = 90 + 168
  • 26x = 258
  • x = 258/26
  • x ≈ 9.92

<u>The speed with the wind is:</u>

  • 9.92 + 3 = 12.92 mph
