The snow stopped for an hour and a half, then resumed at a rate of 1.5 inches per hour for the next 3 hours. Based on this information, what scale would work best for representing the data on the x-axis?(1 point)

Answer 1

A 0.5-hour scale (half-hour increments) best represents the 6.5-hour timeline and lets you show the 1.5-hour stop clearly.
