Downwind DATA:
distance = 1330 ; time = 5 hrs ; rate = d/t = 1330/5 = 266 mph
---------------------------
Upwind DATA:
distance = 1330 ; time = 7 hrs ; rate = d/t = 1330/7 = 190 mph
---------------------------
Equations:
p + w = 266
P - w = 190
-------------
Subtract 2nd equ. from 1st to get:
2w = 76
w = 38 mph (speed of the wind)

Answer 38mph
