Is one fifth between zero and one half or one half and one?
Picture it in your mind. One whole pie. One half is half a pie, right? Is 1/5th of a pie more than 1/2 a pie? Or is it less? The answer is between zero and one half.
How long does it take for A vehicle travelling at 595km too travel 185km?
if the speed is 595 km per hour, then the answer is 0.3109 hours.
speed is distance over time.
Call the airspeed 'A'.
Ground-speed with the wind is (A+60), and distance covered in 4 hours is 4(A+60).
Ground-speed against the wind is (A-60), and distance covered in 5 hours is 5(A-60).
You say that the distances are equal, so
4(A+60) = 5(A-60)
Clear parentheses:
4A + 240 = 5A - 300
Add 300 to each side:
4A + 540 = 5A
Subtract 4A from each side:
540 = A
===========================
Check:
With the wind: (540+60) = 600 mph, = 2400 miles in 4 hours.
Against the wind: (540-60) = 480 mph, = 2400 miles in 5 hours.
You are on the plane for 5 1/2 hours because if you had a stopwatch and started it when you lifted off, when you landed it would be around 5 1/2 hours.
