Ko, this is the solution:

• d = 5h, where

,

• d = depth of snow in centimeters that accumulates in Harper's yard

,

• h = hours of snowstorm

,

• 5 = constant of proportionality

Part A

In consequence, for accumulating 1 centimeter of snow in Harper's yard, it will take:

d = 5h

1 = 5h (One centimeter of snow)

h = 1/5 hours

h = 0.2 hours

Part B

Therefore, using again the formula given, we have:

d = 5h

d = 5 * 1 (One hour)

d = 5 centimeters
