Ko, this is the solution:
• d = 5h, where
,
• d = depth of snow in centimeters that accumulates in Harper's yard
,
• h = hours of snowstorm
,
• 5 = constant of proportionality
Part A
In consequence, for accumulating 1 centimeter of snow in Harper's yard, it will take:
d = 5h
1 = 5h (One centimeter of snow)
h = 1/5 hours
h = 0.2 hours
Part B
Therefore, using again the formula given, we have:
d = 5h
d = 5 * 1 (One hour)
d = 5 centimeters
