Question

Four inches of snow fell in 3 hours. At that rate, how long would it take for 1 foot of snow to fall?

Answer 1

9 hours

The average rate of snowfall here is 4 inches per/hour, so that means we have to multiply the amount of hours by itself to get the answer.

3 × 3 = 9(with 12 inches of snow fell total, equaling 1 foot)

Answer 2

9 hours

Explanation:

4 times 3 is 12. Simple multiplication. 3 times 3 is 9. WOW
