Answer:
It will take 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this be going "backwards".
You have 2.5 inches of snow falling per hour for x hours until you get 8 inches of snow, which can be represented like this:
2.5x=8 From here you being to solve by isolating x on one side of the equation. You would divide both sides by 2.5 to do this
2.5x=8
/2.5 /2.5
8 divided by 2.5 is 3.2 and you then get
x=3.2
It takes 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall
Answer:
26 2/3 yards,
Step-by-step explanation:
First convert 3 1/3 to an improper fraction:
3 1/3 = (3*3 + 1) / 3 = 10 /3.
So for 8 quilts we need (10/3) * 8
= 80/3
= 26 2/3 yards,
