How to Calculate Additional Speed Needed for Tornado to Reach F6 Status
What do we need to calculate in this scenario?
We need to calculate how much more speed a tornado with winds of 275 mph needs to reach F6 tornado status, which has winds of 319 mph.
Answer:
To reach F6 tornado status from winds of 275 mph, a tornado needs more than 44 mph additional speed. Thus, the correct inequality representation would be x > 319 mph - 275 mph.
In this scenario, the variable x denotes the additional speed needed for the tornado to reach F6 tornado status. By subtracting 275 mph from 319 mph, we get 44 mph, which indicates that the tornado needs more than 44 mph speed to become an F6 tornado.
Therefore, the correct inequality representation for the calculation would be x > 319 mph - 275 mph.
