There is a winter storm and the snow is falling at a rate of 4 inches/hour. Write 3 equivalent ratios associated with the following rate 4/inches/hour.
How many inches will fall between 8pm and 12pm?
I haven't a clue
4in/hr = 1/15 in/min = 1/3 ft/hr
Surely the last part you can do.
8pm to 12pm is 4 hours.
At 4 in/hr, that means ? inches.
PS 12pm is bogus. 12:00 is either noon or midnight.
PM means post-meridiem, which is after noon
To find out how many inches will fall between 8 PM and 12 PM, we first need to determine the number of hours.
The time between 8 PM and 12 PM is 4 hours (12 - 8 = 4).
Given that the snow is falling at a rate of 4 inches per hour, we can now multiply the rate (4 inches/hour) by the number of hours (4 hours).
4 inches/hour × 4 hours = 16 inches.
Therefore, 16 inches of snow will fall between 8 PM and 12 PM.
Now, let's write 3 equivalent ratios associated with the rate of 4 inches/hour:
1) 4 inches : 1 hour
2) 8 inches : 2 hours
3) 12 inches : 3 hours
These ratios represent the proportionate relationship between the number of inches that fall and the number of hours.
