When an aircraft flies between two cities, it takes 5h to go downwind and 6h to go upwind. The known wind speed is 24km / h, so the distance between two cities can be calculated Using linear equation of one variable
Let s be the distance between the two cities,
(S/5)-24 = (S/6)+24
The solution is s = 1440km
The fuel carried by an aircraft can fly for up to 6 hours. For flight training, when going downwind, it can fly 1500 kilometers per hour; when returning upwind, it can fly 1200 meters per hour. How long does the aircraft have to fly back at most?
If the speed ratio is 1500:1200 = 5:4, then the time ratio is 4:5, 6 × 45 + 4 = 6 × 49 = 83 (hours). A: if the aircraft flies for 83 hours at most, it has to fly back
