12 minutes. Because of the jet stream the plane takes 7 hours 18 minutes

    Below in bold.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    6 hours 12 minutes = 6.2 hours

    7 hours 18 minutes = 7.3 hours.

    Average speed = distance / time

    So for West to East, average speed = 3800 / 6.2 = 612.9 km/hour.

    - and for East to West, average speed = 3800 / 7.3 = 520.5 km/hour.

    These values are correct to the nearest tenth.
