(please mark me as brainlest.)

Answer 2

Answer:

15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll assume "1 2" is 1/2 and "7 1 2" is 7 1/2.

We can make this into an equation by using x for hours and 1/2 as the rate and set it equal to 7 1/2 to find x.

1/2x=7 1/2

Divide each side of the equation by 1/2.

x=15

SO it took 15 hours for 7 1/2 inches of snow to fall
