Megawon took six hours to fly to Pluto, a spot in Tierra del Fuego, at 2,000 miles per hour. She hit a head wind on the way back and could make only 1,000 miles per hour.
What was her average airspeed?
Let's see if I can figure it out...
6 hours at 2 000 mph = 12 000 miles the reurn trip also 12 000 miles was at a speed of 1 000 mph must have taken 12 hours so total flying time is 18 hours, distance was 24 000 miles. thus avergare speed is 24 000 miles / 18 hours which gives me 1 333 mph.
Will check the answer after I get back from supper.
