Question

there was a blizzard. Snow was falling at a rate of 4 1/2 inches per hour. If the snow kept accumulating at the same rate, how long would it take for 5 feet of snow to accumulate?

Answer 1

13 1/3 Hours

Explanation:

5 feet = 60 inches

4 1/2 inches = 1 hour

60 inches = 1 ÷ 4 1/2 x 60

= 13 1/3 hours

If the snow keeps accumulating, it would take 13 1/3 hours for 5 feet of snow to accumulate.
