Question

A city receives 2 inches of snowfall every 3 hours. Write and graph a function that describes the relationship. How long does it take to receive 1 foot of snow? Use x for the independent variable and y for the dependent variable.

Answer 1

To receive 1 foot of snow it will take about 18 hours.

Explanation:

Given that a city receives 2 inches of snowfall every 3 hours, to write and graph a function that describes the relationship and determine how long does it take to receive 1 foot of snow, the following calculation must be performed:

1 foot = 12 inches

(12/2) x 3 = X

6 x 3 = X

18 = X

Thus, to receive 1 foot of snow it will take about 18 hours.
