Question

4 There is a snowstorm in Buffalo, NY. In 30 minutes in of snow falls. It continues at the same rate for a total of 3 h Which statement is true about the amount of snow in the 2 hour period?

Answer 1

It is given that, in 30 minutes the snow falls is 4/9 in.

We know that

$1\text{ hour=60 minutes }$

$\frac{1}{2}\text{ hour=}\frac{60}{2}\text{minutes }=30\text{ minutes}$

$\text{For 1/2 hour snow falls is 4/9 in}$

$\text{For }\frac{2}{2}\text{hour snow falls = }\frac{4\times2}{9}\text{in}$

$\text{For 1 hour snow falls = }\frac{8}{9}\text{in}$

$\text{For 1}\times2\text{ hour snow falls = }\frac{8\times2}{9}\text{in}$

$\text{For }2\text{ hour snow falls = }\frac{16}{9}\text{in}$

$\text{For 1}\times3\text{ hour snow falls = }\frac{8\times3}{9}\text{in}$

$\text{For 1}\times3\text{ hour snow falls = }\frac{8\times3}{9}\text{in}$
