Starting at noon, Fabian observed the amount of snow on his lawn during a blizzard. He wrote an equation to represent ss, how many inches of snow were on the lawn: s, equals, 7, plus, 0, point, 0, 1, 8, xs=7+0.018x, where xx represents the number of minutes past noon. What is the meaning of the ss-value when x, equals, 60x=60?

s = 7 + 0.018(60) = 7 + 1.08 = 8.08.

This means 60 minutes after noon (at 1:00 PM) there are 8.08 inches of snow on the lawn — 1.08 inches more than the 7 inches at noon.
