Question

ten inches of snow is equivalent to about one inch of rain. write an equation for the amount of precipitation measured in inches of rain, r=f(s), as a function of the number of inches of snow, s.

Answer 1

R={(r;s) | r,s ε (-∞,∞) : r=s/10}

Answer 2

Answer:

Equation is f(s) = $\frac{s}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 10 inches of snow is equivalent to 1 inch of rain.

∴ 1 inch of snow will be equivalent to $\frac{1}{10}$ inch of rain.

∴ s inches of snow will be equivalent to $\frac{s}{10}$ inch of rain.

We can rewrite this expression in the form of a function as

f(s) = $\frac{s}{10}$.

Answer is f(s) = $\frac{s}{10}$.
