miles against the wind. Find the speed of the wind. "

i usually dont have any trouble at all solving these kind of problems but this problem doesnt seem to have a rate or time.

Please consider:

Distance = Rate * Time

Describe the two trips.
 
A plane has a cruising speed of 150 miles per hour when there is no wind.
At this speed, the plane flew 300 miles with the wind in the same amount
of time it flew 200 miles against the wind. Find the speed of the wind.
w = wind speed

@(150+w)mph...............................300..............................>h hours

@(150-w)mph....................200.................>h hours
