The weather satellite shows that hurricane george is 1,728 kilometers southeast of puerto rico and moving northwest at 24 kilometers per hour. a diagram of george's movement toward puerto rico is shown below. if the hurricane stays on its present course, how many days will it take for george to reach puerto rico? 3 6 24 72

1. 3 days.  

Step-by-step explanation:              

We have been given that the hurricane George is 1,728 kilometers southeast of Puerto Rico and moving northwest at 24 kilometers per hour.

First of all we will find the number of hours it will take for George to reach Puerto Rico. We can find number of hours taken by hurricane George to reach Puerto Rico by dividing 1728 by 24.

We can see that George will reach Puerto Rico in 72 hours. Let us convert hours to days by dividing 72 by 24 (number of hours in a day).

Therefore, the hurricane George will reach to Puerto Rico in 3 days, if the hurricane stays on its present course. Our first option is the correct choice.

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested

^ means raise to the power of
