If a migrating hawk travels m mph in still air, what is its rate when it flies into a steady headwind of 3 3 mph? what is its rate with a tailwind of 6 6 mph
Accepted Solution
A:
Headwind of 4 mph: m-4
(Since the headwind is going against the hawk, the hawk should be
slower. You subtract 4 from the speed, which in this case is the
variable M)
Tailwind of 6 mph: m+6
(Since the tailwind is going with the hawk, the hawk should be faster.
You add 6 to the speed, which is in this case is the variable M)
