Flies to East with 150-30=120Kn, to west with 150+30=180Kn.
Time to east =x min, Time to west=y min. x+y=180min.
Equation: x·120Kn=y·180Kn Substitute for y=180min-x
x·120=(180min-x)·180
120x=1802-180x
300x=1802
x=1802/300=108min.
Distance to east after 108min flying= 108/60x120=216mile
Nice Christmas from
