Question

the snowstorm lasted a total of 9 hours. it snowed at a rate of 1 in per hour during the first two hours. the snow continued for the next 6 hours falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour , and finally reduced to 1 inch per hour for the last half hour, after which it completely stopped snowing. which graph shows the snowfall over the 9-hour period ?

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Total Number of Hours for which snow lasted =9 Hours

Rate of Snowing =X axis={1,2,1} in Inches per Hour

Time =Y axis=[1 ,9]

Drawing the Graph(Histogram) for the given Information

Interval (In hours)              Frequency(In inches per hour)

0-2                                         1

 2-8                                        2

8 -8.5                                     $\frac{1}{2}$

8.5 -9                                      0

Answer 2

I do not have graph options, but the graph will look like the image I have attached.

Slope=1 for first 2 hours
Slope=2 from 2-8 hours
Slope=3 for the last hour.  

Hope this helps!
