over the past 4 hours 7 inches of snow has fallen how many total inches will fall over the next 24 hours of the pace continues
To calculate the total inches that will fall over the next 24 hours, we need to determine the rate at which snow is falling and multiply it by 24.
The rate at which snow is falling per hour is calculated by dividing the total amount of snowfall in the past 4 hours by 4: 7 inches / 4 hours = 1.75 inches per hour.
Now we can multiply the rate of snowfall per hour by the number of hours (24): 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.
