The relationship between speed, distance and time can be calculated with

s = where s is the speed, d is the distance and t is the time. If the speed

of the wave formed during a hurricane is 175 m/s and the distance from

the hurricane to the shore is 70 m, how long will it take the wave to reach

the shore?

    0.4 second

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula D = st is the formula that can be used to substitute in the values (which is already in the problem).

    If the speed is 175 meters a second and the distance is 70 meters, than that means 70 = 175t.

    (I substituted 70 for distance, or D, and 175 for speed, or s).

    Divide 175 on both sides in order to isolate the variable (t), which is 0.4 second.

    The time taken for the hurricane to reach the shore would be 0.4 second.
