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)

Answer 1

To find the number of inches that will fall over the next 24 hours, we need to find the inches of snowfall per hour.

Since 7 inches of snow has fallen over the past 4 hours, the rate of snowfall is 7 inches / 4 hours = 1.75 inches per hour.

Thus, over the next 24 hours, 1.75 inches/hour * 24 hours = <<1.75*24=42>>42 inches of snow will fall. Answer: \boxed{42}.
