Answer 1

If 7 inches of snow has fallen over the past 4 hours, we can calculate the snowfall rate per hour:

\[
\text{Snowfall rate} = \frac{7 \text{ inches}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 1.75 \text{ inches/hour}
\]

Next, we can find out how much snow would fall over the next 24 hours at the same rate:

\[
\text{Total snowfall} = 1.75 \text{ inches/hour} \times 24 \text{ hours} = 42 \text{ inches}
\]

So, if the pace continues, a total of **42 inches** of snow will fall over the next 24 hours.
