Question

Can someone tell me the answer too this, Denver,Colorado often experiences snowstorms resulting in multiple inches of accumulating snow during the last snowstorm the snow accumulated at 4 5 in./h if there's no continues at this rate for 10 hours how much snow will accumulate

Answer 1

8 inches

Explanation:

Given that:

Rate of Snow accumulation =
`(4)/(5)\ in/hr`

Time for which the snow gets accumulated at the same rate = 10 hours

To find:

How much snow will get accumulated if the snow keeps accumulating at the same rate ?

Solution:

To get the amount of snow that got accumulated, we need to multiply the rate of snow accumulation with the time for which the snow kept on accumulating.

Formula:

Amount of snow accumulated = Rate of snow accumulation
`*` Time taken for snow accumulation

`\Rightarrow (4)/(5)* 10\\\Rightarrow 4* 2\\\Rightarrow \bold{8\ inches}`

Therefore, 8 inches of snow got accumulated.
