Question

Starting at noon, Fatoumata observed the amount of snow on her lawn during a blizzard. She wrote an equation to represent ss, how many inches of snow were on the lawn: s=8+0.01x, where xx represents the number of minutes past noon. What is the meaning of the ss-value when x=1?The change in the amount of snow on the lawn for every one additional minute.The amount of snow on the lawn when the blizzard ended.The amount of snow on the lawn at noon.The amount of snow on the lawn at 12:01 p.m

Answer 1

The variable x represents the number of minutes past noon, and the variable s represents how many inches of snow were on the lawn.

So, the meaning of s when x = 1 is the amount of snow (in inches) on the lawn when the time is 12:01pm (1 minute after noon).

Therefore the correct option is the fourth one.
