A dragon flew 300 miles from his castle to visit a friend. Flying with the wind, his trip took 2 hours. His return trip against the wind took 3 hours. What was the speed of the wind and the speed of the dragon in still air?


Please help me. I WILL mark brainliest and give lots of points.

Respuesta :

Answer:I’m not sure about the wind but the speed of the dragon is 125mph

Step-by-step explanation:Remember,

Speed=Distance/Time

Distance=Speed x Time

Time=Distance/Speed

Knowing that the distance in both trips was the same, we can say that he flew his trip 150mph (Speed=300/2) the first time and 100mph (Speed=300/3) the second time. Next, we find the average of 150 and 100 and that is (100+150)/2 which is 125. I’m sorry I couldn’t find the speed of wind, but in my defense, I’m only in 6th grade. Hopefully that helped you, good luck!
