An oil spill covers 4 square kilometers in. 1/4 of an hour at this rate how may square kilometers will it covering 2 hous

Answer 1

To find out how many square kilometers the oil spill will cover in 2 hours, we need to find the rate at which it covers the area per hour.

In 1/4 of an hour, the oil spill covers 4 square kilometers. To find the rate per hour, we can multiply this rate by 4 (since there are 4 quarters in an hour).

So, the oil spill covers 4 * 4 = <<4*4=16>>16 square kilometers per hour.

In 2 hours, the oil spill will cover 16 * 2 = <<16*2=32>>32 square kilometers.
Answer: \boxed{32}.
