The equation

d = 5h

relates time (h) in hours and the accumulated snow (d) in centimeters.

Replacing with d = 1, and solving for h, we get:

1 = 5h

1/5 = h

0.2 = h

It takes 0.2 hours for 1 cm of snow to accumulate in the yard

Replacing with h = 1, and solving for d, we get:

d = 5(1)

d = 5

5 centimeters of snow accumulate per hour
