Question

4 There is a snowstorm in Buffalo, NY. In 30 minutes in of snow falls. It continues at the same rate for a total of 3 h Which statement is true about the amount of snow in the 2 hour period?

Answer 1

It is given that, in 30 minutes the snow falls is 4/9 in.

We know that

`1\text{ hour=60 minutes }`

`(1)/(2)\text{ hour=}(60)/(2)\text{minutes }=30\text{ minutes}`

`\text{For 1/2 hour snow falls is 4/9 in}`

`\text{For }(2)/(2)\text{hour snow falls = }(4*2)/(9)\text{in}`

`\text{For 1 hour snow falls = }(8)/(9)\text{in}`

`\text{For 1}*2\text{ hour snow falls = }(8*2)/(9)\text{in}`

`\text{For }2\text{ hour snow falls = }(16)/(9)\text{in}`

`\text{For 1}*3\text{ hour snow falls = }(8*3)/(9)\text{in}`

`\text{For 1}*3\text{ hour snow falls = }(8*3)/(9)\text{in}`
