Question 3222 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 30 hours. To calculate the time it takes for the hurricane center to reach the MODU's position, we need to use the distance between the MODU and the hurricane center, along with the hurricane's forward speed. Given: - Hurricane's forward speed: 20 knots - Distance from MODU to hurricane center: 600 miles To find the time, we divide the distance by the speed: Time = Distance / Speed Time = 600 miles / 20 knots Time = 30 hours The other options are incorrect because: A) 10 hours is too short, as the hurricane would need to travel 200 miles per hour to reach the MODU in 10 hours. C) 50 hours is too long, as the hurricane would need to travel 12 knots to reach the MODU in 50 hours. D) 80 hours is too long, as the hurricane would need to travel 7.5 knots to reach the MODU in 80 hours.
