The speed of the small jet is 268mi/hr

The speed of the tallwiind is 212mi/hr

The formula for calculating the speed is expressed as:

Speed =  Distance/Time

For the small jet:

Speed = 1072/4

Speed = 268mi/hr

Hence the speed of the small jet is 268mi/hr

For the tall wind:

Speed = 848/4

Speed = 212mi/hr

Hence the speed of the tallwind is 212mi/hr
