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?
To find the total inches of snow that will fall over the next 24 hours, we need to determine the average rate of snowfall per hour and then multiply it by the number of hours.
Given that 7 inches of snow have fallen in the past 4 hours, the average rate of snowfall per hour is 7 inches / 4 hours = 1.75 inches/hour.
Now, to find the total inches of snow that will fall over the next 24 hours, we multiply the average rate by the number of hours: 1.75 inches/hour * 24 hours = 42 inches.
Therefore, if the pace of snowfall continues, a total of 42 inches of snow will fall over the next 24 hours.
