Answer:

Approximately 17

Explanation:

Number of starts getting hidden in 9 hours = 190 - 33

= 157

Therefore the nun of starts getting hidden in 9 hours is 157

9 hours = 157 stars

1 hours = x

Cross multiply

9 × x = 157 × 1

9x = 157

Divide both sides by 9

x = 157 ÷ 9

x = 17.4

Therefore 17.4 stars are getting hidden every hour.
