Question

My lawn is 17ft wide and 20ft long, each square foot of lawn gets 1350 new snowflakes per min how much snow in kilograms accumulates every hour average mass of snowflake is 1.70mg

Answer 1

Answer:

46.818 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the surface area of your yard. This is found by multiplying the length and width.

The equation for this is (l*w)=sa

So,

l=20ft

w=17ft

(20*17)= 340 square feet.

So, if each square foot gets 1350 new flakes per minute, you are going to find how much the entire yard gets in a minute by multiplying the surface area by 1350.

So,

(340*1350)= 459000  flakes for the entire yard in one minute.

Since there is 60 minutes in an hour, multiply 459,000 by 60.

459,000*60= 27,540,000  new flakes in the yard per hour.

Now, to find the weight in milligrams:

27,540,000*1.7= 46,818,000  mgs

Finally, because a kilogram is equal to one million milligrams (mg),

46,818,000/1,000,000= 46.818 kg
