Solve the following word problems: 1. With a tailwind, a plane can travel 3840 km in 4 hours. Against a headwind, the return trip takes 5 hours. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind. 4(p + w) = 384 0 → p + w = 960. = speed of plane 4 4. = speed of wind 5 (p − 384 0 . w) = → p − w = 768. 5. tailwind 2p = 1728.
The trip there took 12 hours and the trip back took nine hours. It averaged 20 km/h on the return trip. Find the average speed of the trip there. 3) Scott left the airport and traveled toward the train station. Three hours later Castel left traveling at 50 mph in an effort to catch up to Scott. After traveling for two hours Castel finally ...
An application of linear equations can be found in distance problems. When solving distance problems we will use the relationship rt = d or rate (speed) times time equals distance. For example, if a person were to travel 30 mph for 4 hours. To find the total distance we would multiply rate times time or (30)(4) = 120.
If Fred’s speed is 167 km an hour faster when he is flying than when he is driving, find Fred’s flight speed and driving speed. Rate x Time = Distance
