Answer:
s = 2t
Step-by-step explanation:
At the end of a snow storm, Audrey saw there was a lot of snow on her front lawn. The temperature increased and the snow began to melt at a steady rate. There was a depth of 10 inches of snow on the lawn when the storm ended and then it started melting at a rate of 2 inches per hour. Write an equation for S, in terms of t, representing the depth of snow on Audreys lawn, in inches, t hours after the snow stopped falling.
2 inches = 1 hour
10 inches = x hour
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
Creating an equation
S ∝ t
S = kt
k = s/t
k = 2/1
k = 2
The equation for S, in terms of t, representing the depth of snow on Audreys lawn, in inches, t hours after the snow stopped falling is
S = 2t
