N2.5 hours a hurricane traveled 312.5 miles. if the average rate at which the hurricane is moving increases by 8%, how many miles will the hurricane travel in the next 1.5 hours?

a. 223
b. 202.5
c. 135
d. 101.5

The hurricane will travel

Therefore, the correct answer is B.202.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We define the average speed rate as the position variation divided by the time variation ⇒ Given that the hurricane traveled 312.5 miles in 2.5 hours :

Average speed rate = Position variation / time variation = Δx / Δt =

Now, the average speed rate increases by 8% :

The new average speed rate is

Given that ⇒

In the next 1.5 hours the hurricane will travel

The correct answer ir B.202.5
