Answer:
The distance traveled in next 5 hours is 215 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given
A hurricane traveled 132.5 mi. in 2.5 hr
So, firstly, we can find old speed
distance =132.5 miles
time =2.5 hours
we know that
speed = distance / time
[tex]v_0=\frac{132.5}{2.5} mph[/tex]
[tex]v_0=53mph[/tex]
now, we can find new speed
If the rate at which the hurricane was moving then decreased by 10 mph
so, we get new speed as
[tex]v_n=53-10[/tex]
[tex]v_n=43mph[/tex]
Time of traveled =5 hour
so, T=5
now, we can find distance
[tex]d=v_n\times T[/tex]
now, we can plug values
[tex]d=43\times 5[/tex]
[tex]d=215[/tex]
So,
The distance traveled in next 5 hours is 215 miles
