Question

ten inches of snow is equivalent to about one inch of rain. write an equation for the amount of precipitation measured in inches of rain, r=f(s), as a function of the number of inches of snow, s.

Answer 1

R= r,s ε (-∞,∞) : r=s/10

Answer 2

Equation is f(s) =
`(s)/(10)`

Explanation:

∵ 10 inches of snow is equivalent to 1 inch of rain.

∴ 1 inch of snow will be equivalent to
`(1)/(10)` inch of rain.

∴ s inches of snow will be equivalent to
`(s)/(10)` inch of rain.

We can rewrite this expression in the form of a function as

f(s) =
`(s)/(10)`.

Answer is f(s) =
`(s)/(10)`.
