Answer 1

speed = 170 mph
hope this helps!

Answer 2

The hurricane traveled 260 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by hurricane = 130 miles

Then time =
`(6)/(12)` hours=
`0.5` hour

Distance=Speed*Time

Speed=
`(Distance)/(Time)`
Speed=
`(130)/(0.5)`

Speed=260 miles per hour

So, the hurricane traveled 260 miles per hour
