Storm

So far, a storm has traveled 35 miles in 1/2 hour in direction straight to observer. If it is currently 5:00 p. M. And the storm is 105 miles away from you, at what time will the storm reach you? Explain how you solved the problem.

Result

t = 6:30 hh:mm

Solution:

$s_{1}=35 \ \text{mi} \ \\ t_{1}=1/2=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 }=0.5 \ \text{h} \ \\ \ \\ v=s_{1} / t_{1}=35 / 0.5=70 \ \text{mi/h} \ \\ \ \\ s=105 \ \text{mi} \ \\ t=5.00 + s/v=5.00 + 105/70=\dfrac{ 13 }{ 2 }=6.5=6:30 \ \text{hh}:\text{mm}$
