Ok so my math teacher absolutely sucks at explaining anything and jumps over so many things when showing the class how to do new types of problems. I'm having a really hard time with one of the word problems from the homework. Can someone please help me figure out how to solve it?
Q: A chartered sight-seeing flight over the grand canyon is scheduled to return to its departure point in 3 hours. If the plane flies at 100 mph in still air and there is a head wind of 20mph on the outward journey, how far can the plane go before it must turn around?
A: ?
I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be solving for here?
