A hurricane traveled 180 miles in 4 hours. If the average rate at which the hurricane is moving slows by 10%, what is the distance that the hurricane will travel in the following 6 hours? A. 330 miles B. 297 miles C. 243 miles D. 210 miles

Question and answer

A hurricane traveled 180 miles in 4 hours. Therefore it traveled 45 miles in 1 hour. If the average rate slows by 10%, it will travel 45 - 4.5 miles in 1 hour = 40.5 miles. In 6 hours it will travel 40.5 x 6 miles = 243 miles.
