Over the past 4 hours, 7 inches of snow has fallen. How many total inches will fall over the next 24 hours if the pace continues?(1 point)

1 answer

Over the past 4 hours, 7 inches of snow has fallen. If the pace continues, we can assume that 7 inches of snow will continue to fall every 4 hours.

Therefore, over the next 24 hours (which is 6 sets of 4 hours), the total number of inches that will fall is:

7 inches/hour * 6 hours = <<7*6=42>>42 inches

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