Question

Suppose a hurricane traveled 130 miles from point in the Atlantic Ocean to Florida coastline in 6 1/2 hours. How many miles per hour did the hurricane travel?

Answer 1

Answer:

The hurricane traveled 260 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by hurricane = 130 miles

Then time = $\frac{6}{12}$ hours=$0.5$ hour

Distance=Speed*Time

Speed=$\frac{Distance}{Time}$
Speed=$\frac{130}{0.5}$

Speed=260 miles per hour

So, the hurricane traveled 260 miles per hour

Answer 2

Speed = 170 mph
