Wind drift

The plane flies at 860 km/h, passing distance 3000 kilometers with the wind and once again against the wind for 6 h 59 min. What is the wind speed?

Result

v =  31 km/h

Solution:

$t_1 + t_2 = 6+ \dfrac{ 59}{60} \ \\ (860+v)t_1 = 3000 \ \\ (860-v)t_2 = 3000 \ \\ \ \\ v = 31 \ \text{km/h} \ \\$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
