"ROUND TRIP"
An airplane flying at constant air speed, due East, from My City to Your City, in calm weather (no wind of any kind) would log the same flying time for both legs of the trip.
Suppose the same trip is taken when there is wind from the West.
How would the total (round trip) time in windy weather compare with the total time in calm weather? Please answer this in words, not equations, briefly explaining how you obtained your answer.
