Step 1
We need to know what units are being used for speed and distance in order to calculate the time it will take for the post pigeon to fly from city A to city B. Unfortunately, the question does not provide this information, so we cannot give a specific answer. Show more…

Flying with a Tailwind. An airplane that can travel $375 \mathrm{mph}$ in still air is flying with a $25-\mathrm{mph}$ tailwind. How long will it take the plane to travel $700 \mathrm{mi}$ with the wind?

When the wind is blowing at $25 \mathrm{mph}$, a plane flying at a constant speed can travel 500 mi with the wind in the same amount of time it can fly 400 mi against the wind. Find the speed of the plane.

A plane flies from Atlanta to Los Angeles against the wind in 5 hr. The return trip back to Atlanta with the wind takes only 4 hr. If the distance between Atlanta and Los Angeles is $3200 \mathrm{km}$, find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind.
