Chapter 11, Problem 106

(choose chapter or problem)

On a flight between Midway Airport in Chicago and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, a Boeing 737 jet maintains an airspeed of 475 miles per hour. If the trip from Chicago to Ft. Lauderdale takes 2 hours, 30 minutes and the return flight takes 2 hours, 50 minutes, what is the speed of the jet stream? (Assume that the speed of the jet stream remains constant at the various altitudes of the plane and that the plane flies with the jet stream one way and against it the other way.)
