Question

We can calculate the depth ddd of snow, in centimeters, that accumulates in Harper's yard during the first hhh hours of a snowstorm using the equation d=5hd=5hd, equals, 5, h. How many hours does it take for 111 centimeter of snow to accumulate in Harper's yard?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth, d of snow (in cm) that accumulates in Harper's yard during the first h hours of a snowstorm can be calculated using the equation:

d=5h

When d=1cm, we want to determine the value of h.

1=5h

h=1/5=0.2

Therefore, it takes 0.2 hours for 1 centimeter of snow to accumulate in Harper's yard.
