Over the past 4 hours, 7 inches of snow has fallen. How many total inches will fall over the next 24 hours if the pace
continues? (1 point)
To find out how many total inches will fall over the next 24 hours if the pace continues, we first need to determine the rate at which snow is falling per hour.
Over the past 4 hours, 7 inches of snow has fallen. We can divide the total inches by the number of hours to find the rate:
7 inches / 4 hours = 1.75 inches per hour
Now that we know the rate of snowfall per hour, we can multiply it by the number of hours in the next period (24 hours) to estimate the total inches that will fall:
1.75 inches per hour * 24 hours = 42 inches
Therefore, if the current rate of snowfall continues, a total of 42 inches will likely fall over the next 24 hours.
To find the total inches of snow that will fall over the next 24 hours, we need to find the amount of snow that falls per hour and then multiply it by 24.
Given that 7 inches of snow has fallen over the past 4 hours, we can find the rate of snowfall per hour by dividing 7 inches by 4 hours.
Rate of snowfall per hour = 7 inches / 4 hours = 1.75 inches per hour.
Now, we can calculate the total inches of snowfall over the next 24 hours by multiplying the rate per hour by the number of hours.
Total inches of snowfall over the next 24 hours = 1.75 inches/hour × 24 hours = 42 inches.
Therefore, if the pace continues, a total of 42 inches of snow will fall over the next 24 hours.
To find out how many total inches will fall over the next 24 hours if the pace continues, we need to calculate the rate of snowfall per hour and then multiply it by 24.
To calculate the rate of snowfall per hour, we divide the total amount of snowfall (7 inches) by the number of hours (4):
Rate of snowfall per hour = Total snowfall / Number of hours
= 7 inches / 4 hours
= 1.75 inches per hour
Now that we know the rate of snowfall per hour, we can multiply it by the number of hours in the next 24 hours:
Total inches of snowfall in the next 24 hours = Rate of snowfall per hour * Number of hours
= 1.75 inches per hour * 24 hours
= 42 inches
Therefore, if the pace continues, a total of 42 inches of snow will fall over the next 24 hours.
