Question

A glacier moves about 3 inches every 9 hours. At this rate, about how far does the glacier move in 36 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

36/9=4

4x3=12

Answer 2

So first you would divide 12 in half to figure out how many inches it moves in 24 hours (or 1 day) which would be 6 inches every 24 hours. You then multiply 6 (inches per day) by 7 (# of days). You end up with 42 inches in 7 days. Hope this helps
