Question

In 2 hours 4 inches of snow have fallen. Write an equation that gives the amount of snow that has fallen after x hours at this rate?

Answer 1

The equation that gives the amount of snow that has fallen after x hours at a rate of 2 inches in 2 hours is Amount of snow = 2x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation that gives the amount of snow that has fallen after x hours at the same rate as 2 inches in 2 hours, we can use the equation: Amount of snow = (Rate of snowfall) * (Time).

Since the rate of snowfall is 4 inches in 2 hours, we can substitute it into the equation as: Amount of snow = 4 * (x/2).

This simplifies to: Amount of snow = 2x.
