Complete question is;

Boston , Massachusetts, and buffalo, New York, are hit by snowstorms that last 3 days . Boston accumulates snow at a rate of 1.5 feet every 36 hours. Buffalo accumulates snow at a rate of 0.01 inches every minute.

Which city accumulates more snow in 3 days? How much more snow?

Answer:

- Boston accumulates more snow in 3 days.

- It accumulates 0.6 ft of snow more than Boston

Step-by-step explanation:

Boston accumulates 1.5 feet of snow every 36 hours.

Number of hours in 3 days = 24 × 3 = 72 hours.

Thus, In 72 hours, Boston would have accumulated; (1.5 × 72)/36 = 3 feet of snow.

Now, Buffalo accumulates 0.01 inches of snow every minute.

In 3 days, number of minutes we have = 60 × 24 × 3 = 4320 minutes

Thus, total snow accumulated in 3 days = 0.01 × 4320/1 = 43.2 inches

Now, let's convert this to ft;

12 inches = 1ft

Thus; 43.2 inches = 43.2 × 1/12 = 3.6ft

Thus, Buffalo accumulates more snow in 3 days.

It accumulates 0.6 ft of snow more than Boston

Luda [366]

The length of the new sidewalk between the Dormitory to the recreation center is 143 yards

We need to understand the concept of Bearing and Distance in order to be able to determine how long is the new sidewalk.

<h3>What are Bearing and Distance?</h3>

The Bearing of an angle measures the movement of an angle in a clockwise direction starting from the North Pole. However, the distance shows how the length of the sides of the angle can also be measured.

From the diagram attached below:
