Answer:
21 [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]in/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance of snow fall = 3ft
Time taken = 1[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]hrs
Unknown:
Rate of snowfall = ?
Solution:
The rate of the snowfall is the same as the speed of the fall;
Rate of snowfall = [tex]\frac{distance of snowfall}{time}[/tex]
Convert the ft to inches;
1ft = 12inches
3ft = 3 x 12 = 36inches
Input the parameters and solve;
Rate of snowfall = [tex]\frac{36}{\frac{5}{3} }[/tex] = 36 x [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] = 21 [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]in/hr
