Question

HELPP PLEASEEE ??? 2. The snow pack on Mt. Hood in the Oregon Cascades was 150 inches on

January 15th. Based on data taken in previous years, the snow pack decreases
about 11 inches a week after January 15th. The Forest Service wants to predict
when to open trials for hiking (when the snow will be gone). About when will
they be open? Show your work. Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answer 1

Therefore, the Forest Service will open trials on April 23rd.

Explanation:

On January 15th, snow pack = 150 inches.

Snow pack decreases 11 inches per week.

The trials for hiking would be opened when the snow will be gone.

The snow will be gone in the number of weeks it takes to decease.

Number of weeks required =
`(150)/(11)`

= 13.64 weeks

Number of weeks required ≅ 14

Thus, it would take a maximum of 14 weeks for the snow to be gone from January 15th.

Therefore, the Forest Service will open trials on April 23rd.
