48 miles in 4 hours = 12mph <- With wind.
30 miles in 3 hours = 10 mph<- Against wind.

For the wind, I'm not sure although I think it's 2mph.

anonymous · Answer

How did u get that? Is there an equation I should know?

anonymous · Answer

Well mph stands for miles per hour and 48 miles for 4 hours... so divide 48 by 4... and you get 12 mph

anonymous · Answer

Oh so to find the speed at a still wind, I just need to find the number in between (11)?

anonymous · Answer

I tested it and I believe the mph is 1. Gracias mi amigo!
