Speed determination

Since a private jet can fly 1134.6 miles against a 27-mph headwind in the same amount of time it can fly 1469.4 miles with a 27-mph tailwind, to find the speed of the jet you must perform the following calculation:

  • (1469.4 - 1134.6) / 2 = X
  • 334.8 / 2 = X
  • 167.4 = X
  • 1469.4 - 167.4 = X
  • 1302 = X

Therefore, the speed of the jet is 1302 miles per hour.
