From the "Big Bad Table", you find out that a storm (at point S) with 70 mph winds generates individual waves traveling at 40 mph. If it is 1200 miles from point S to Australia (A), how long will it take a set of waves generated by the storm to arrive at the coast of Australia? Remember that a set of waves travels at the speed of an individual wave. Give your answer in hours or days. Show all
