Under typical conditions, 1 1/2 ft of snow will melt to 2 in of water. To how many inches of water will 4 1/3 ft of snow melt?
Well, in typical conditions, 1 1/2 ft of snow melts to 2 inches of water. So, if we want to find out how many inches of water 4 1/3 ft of snow will melt, we'll need to do some multiplication and division.
First, let's convert 4 1/3 ft to inches. There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so we have:
4 1/3 ft * 12 inches/foot = 52 inches.
Now, since we know that 1 1/2 ft of snow melts to 2 inches of water, we can set up a proportion:
1 1/2 ft / 2 inches = 52 inches / X inches
Cross multiplying, we get:
(1 1/2 ft) * (X inches) = (2 inches) * (52 inches)
Simplifying, we have:
3/2 ft * X inches = 104 inches
Now, let's solve for X:
3/2 * X = 104
X = (104 * 2) / 3
X ≈ 69.33 inches
So, 4 1/3 ft of snow will melt to approximately 69.33 inches of water. Or you could just say "about five and a half feet of melted snow" to sound more impressive at the next water cooler conversation!
To find out how many inches of water 4 1/3 ft of snow will melt to, we can set up a proportion using the given conversion: 1.5 ft of snow = 2 inches of water.
Let's convert 4 1/3 ft to a mixed fraction: 4 + 1/3 = 12/3 + 1/3 = 13/3 ft.
Now, we can set up the proportion:
1.5 ft / 2 inches = (13/3) ft / x inches
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply the fractions:
1.5 ft * x inches = (13/3) ft * 2 inches
Now, let's simplify the equation by multiplying:
1.5x = 26/3
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 1.5:
x = (26/3) / 1.5
x = 17.33 inches
Therefore, 4 1/3 ft of snow will melt to approximately 17.33 inches of water.
To find out how many inches of water 4 1/3 ft of snow will melt to, you can use the given ratio between the amount of snow and the amount of water it melts into.
First, let's convert 1 1/2 ft into inches. Since 1 ft equals 12 inches, we multiply 1.5 ft by 12:
1.5 ft * 12 inches/ft = 18 inches
So, 1 1/2 ft of snow is equal to 18 inches of snow.
Now, we can set up a ratio to find out how many inches of water 4 1/3 ft of snow will melt into:
18 inches of snow / 2 inches of water = (4 1/3 ft of snow) / x
To solve for x (the unknown amount of water), we can cross-multiply:
18 inches of snow * x = 2 inches of water * (4 1/3 ft of snow)
18x = 2 * 4 1/3
Next, let's convert 4 1/3 ft into inches. Multiplying it by 12 gives us:
4 1/3 ft * 12 inches/ft = 52 inches
So, 4 1/3 ft of snow is equal to 52 inches of snow.
Now, let's continue solving for x:
18x = 2 * 52
18x = 104
Divide both sides by 18 to isolate x:
x = 104 / 18
Calculating this division gives us:
x ≈ 5.78
Therefore, 4 1/3 ft of snow will melt to approximately 5.78 inches of water.
(1 1/2)/2 = (4 1/3) / x
Cross multiply and solve for x
