Solution

To find the velocity of the cloud, we need to divide the total distance the cloud moved by the time it took.

The cloud moved 6,950 meters in 12.5 minutes.

So, the velocity of the cloud is 6,950 meters / 12.5 minutes = 556 meters per minute.

Therefore, the cloud's velocity was 556 meters per minute to the east.
