- Let p be the speed of the plane in still air and w be the speed of the wind.
- The speed of the plane with the wind is p + w and the speed of the plane against the wind is p - w.
- The distance traveled by the plane in both cases is 1120 km.
- The time taken by the plane with the wind is 1 hour and 20 minutes, which is 4/3 hours.
- The time taken by the plane against the wind is 1 hour and 24 minutes, which is 7/5 hours.
- Using the formula distance = rate x time, we can set up two equations:
p + w = 1120 / (4/3)
p - w = 1120 / (7/5)
- To solve for p and w, we can add the two equations to eliminate w:
2p = 1120 / (4/3) + 1120 / (7/5)
2p = 840 + 800
2p = 1640
p = 820
- To find w, we can substitute p = 820 in either equation:
820 + w = 1120 / (4/3)
w = 1120 / (4/3) - 820
w = 280
- Therefore, the speed of the plane in still air is 820 km/h and the speed of the wind is 280 km/h.
