Question

A flying carpet flies 2.4 miles with the wind in the same amount of time it flies 1.4 miles against the wind. The wind speed is 4 mph. What is the speed of the flying carpet in still air?

Answer 1

Answer:

15.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

2.4÷(x+4)=1.4÷(x-4)

1.4(x+4)=2.4(x-4)

1.4x+5.6=2.4x-9.6

-x=-15.2

x=15.2

Hope this helps!
