Answer 1

Answer:

Bess has been keeping track of the storm for 14 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tropical storm has been moving at 15 miles per hour.

Bess recorded that the storm moved 135 miles yesterday and 75 miles today. Total distance covered by storm is

$135+75=210$

The relationship between distance speed and time is defined as

$speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$15=\frac{210}{time}$

$time=\frac{210}{15}$

$time=14$

Therefore, Bess has been keeping track of the storm for 14 hours.
