Question

5) Lee's model airplane flies at 18 miles per hour. Lee took the plane to a field in windy weather. It took six minutes to fly 2.2 miles with the wind. How fast was the wind blowing?​

Answer 1

The wind is blowing at the rate of 4 miles per hour

Speed and distances

The formula for calculating speed is expressed as:

Speed = Distance/Time

Given the following parameters

Speed of airplane = 18 miles per hour

Speed in wind = 2.2 * 10  = 22 miles/hr

Speed of the wind = 22 - 18

Speed of the wind = 4mi/hr

Hence the wind is blowing at the rate of 4 miles per hour
