Question

The snow fell 3/4 of an inch every hour. After 12 hours pass, write an equation to represent how many inches of snow has fallen. After you have written the equation, please solve that equation.

Answer 1

To find the total snow fall you would multiply the amount of snow per hour by the number of hours it snows:

Total = 3/4 inch per hour x hours: Total = 3/4h

h = 12 hours:

Total = 3/4(12) = 9 inches total.

Answer 2

3/4 of an inch every hour multiplied by 12 hours.
But it can also be 12 x 0.75.
Equal to 9. 12 x 0.75 = 9.
9 inches
