Answer 1

13 inches ; 2 inches per hour ; 48 inches

Explanation:

Given that :

Inches of snow after 2 hours = 4 inches

Since, snow is falling steadily ;

We can infer that:

Inches of snow per hour : (4 in / 2 hrs) = 2 in / hr

Hence, rate of snow fall = 2in /hr

Inches of snow after 6.5 hours

Rate per hour * Numbee of hours

2 * 6.5

= 13 inches

Amount of snow after x hours :

Rate * x

2 * x

= 2x

Inches of snow after 24 hours

2 * 24 hrs = 48 inches
