Question

We can calculate the depth d of snow, in centimeters, that accumulates in Harper's yard during the first h hours of a snowstorm using the equation d= 5h. How many hours does it take for 1 centimeter of snow to accumulate in Harper's yard?\

Answer 1

It takes 0.20 hours for 1 centimeter of snow to accumulate in Harper's Yard

Explanation:

Answer 2

We are told that to calculate the depth d of snow, in centimeters, that accumulates in Harper's yard during the first h hours of a snowstorm we can use the equation:
`d=5h`.

To find number of hours it will take for 1 centimeter of snow to accumulate in Harper's yard we will substitute d=1 in our given equation.

`1=5h`

Dividing both sides of our equation by 5 we will get,

`h=(1)/(5)=0.2`

Therefore, it will take
`(1)/(5)` of an hour or 12 minutes for 1 centimeter of snow to accumulate in Harper's yard.
