The storm would reach you at approximately 6:30 P.M. 

Answer:

6:30 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this.

you can easily solve this by using a rule of three

Step 1

define the relation

if the storm has traveled 35 miles in 0.5 hour,How long will it take to travel 105 miles?

iif

35 miles ⇔0.5 hours

105 miles ⇔x hours?

[tex]\frac{35\ miles}{0.5\ hours}=\frac{105\ miles}{x}\\\\ isolating\ x\\\frac{x*35\ miles}{0.5\ hours}=105\ miles\\x*35\ miles=105\ miles*0.5\ hours\\x=\frac{105\ miles*0.5\ hours}{35\ miles}\\ x=1.5\ hours[/tex]

Hence, the time the storm will reach me is

5:00 pm +1.5 Hours

1.5 Hours = 1 hour + 30 minutes

the time the storm will reach me is: 5:00 pm+1 hour + 30 minutes

the time the storm will reach me is:6:30 pm

Have a good day
