    Answer

    25 miles/hour

    Explanation

    Given that,

    A pilot can travel with wind = 416miles

    A pilot can travel against wind = 336miles

    A pilot can speed without wind = 235miles/hour

    let wind speed = v miles/hr

    pilot's speed with the wind = 235 + v

    pilot's speed against the wind = 235 - v

    Time = distance / speed

    416 / (235 + v) = 336 / (235 - v)

    416 (235 - v) = 336 (235+v)

    97760 - 416v = 78960 + 336v

    97760 - 78960 = 416v + 336v

    18800 = 752v

    v = 18800/752

    v = 25 miles/hour

    wind speed = 25 mph
