Plane Speed = 520mph=520mph
Wind Speed = 40mph=40mph

Explanation:

Distance = Rate x time

3360 = R_1 xx 63360=R1×6 ; R_1 = 560mphR1=560mph

3360 = R_2 xx 73360=R2×7 ; R_2 = 480mphR2=480mph

Actual Plane Speed = (560 + 480)/2 = 520mph=560+4802=520mph

Wind Speed = 560 - 520 = 520 - 480 = 40mph=560520=520480=40mph
