A flight from Boston to London took only 5 hours because of a strong tailwind. The flight back to Boston against the same wind took 6 hours. What was the speed of the wind if the speed of the plane in still air is 550 mph?

Step-by-step explanation:

let v is the speed of the wind,

the equation of the speed:

(550 + v ) × 5 = (550 - v) × 6

2750 +5v = 3300 - 6v

11v = 3300 - 2750

11v = 550

v = 550/11

v = 50

therefore, the speed of the wind =

50 mph

answer: the answer is 30 miles per hour.

ft/s -> mphmph = ft/s 1.466667mph = 44 divided by 1.466667mph = 30.00000
