Question

at 5 pm, the total snowfall is 5 centimeters. at 11 pm, the total snowfall is 12 centimeters. what us the mean hourly snowfall? write your answer in simplest form as a fraction or mixed number.​

Answer 1

The time elapsed between 5 pm and 11 pm is 6 hours.

The total snowfall during this time is 12 cm - 5 cm = 7 cm.

Therefore, the mean hourly snowfall is:

7 cm ÷ 6 hours = 1 1/6 cm/hour

So the answer in simplest form as a mixed number is 1 1/6.
