A plane travels at a speed of 160mph in still air. Flying with a tailwind, the plane is clocked over a distance of 625 miles. Flying against a headwind, it takes 2 hours longer to complete the return trip. What was the wind velocity? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)

Answer:
The Velocity is 105.820106 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed 1 = 160 mph
Distance = 625 miles
Time = Speed = Distance/Time
= 160 = 625/T
= 160T = 625
= T = 3.90625 hrs
Time in the return trip = (3.90625+2) hrs
= 5.90625 hrs
Distance = 625 miles
Velocity = Distance/Time
= (625/5.90625) mph
= 105.820106 mph
Hope this helps.
