Question

It snowed 18 ½ inches in 2 ¾ hours.

What was the rate of snowfall in inches per hour?

Answer 1

`18(1)/(2) / 2(3)/(4)`

Break the whole number: 18*2+1=37, 2*4+3=11

`(37)/(2) * (4)/(11) = (74)/(11) = 6(8)/(11)`

Answer 2

Hello There!

It snowed 18.5 inches in 2.75 hours.
Divide both sides by 2.75
2.75/2.75 = 1
18.5/2.75 = 6.72727272727272

Basically it snowed around 6 8/11 inches per hour.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
