On Sunday at 10:30 am it started snowing. By Monday at 10:30 am, there were 12 inches of snow. How much snow fell each hour? Please tell me

Answer 1

`0.5\ \text{inches/hour}`

Explanation:

Given that,

On Sunday at 10:30 am it started snowing. By Monday at 10:30 am, there were 12 inches of snow.

We need to find the rate of fell of snow each hour. It can be calculated as follows :

Time from Monday at 10:30 am to Sunday at 10:30 am = 24 hours

So,

`R=(12)/(24)\\\\R=0.5\ \text{inches/hour}`

So, the snow fell at the rate of
`0.5\ \text{inches/hour}`.
