To find the total inches of snow that will fall over the next 24 hours, we need to find the amount of snow that falls per hour and then multiply it by 24.
Given that 7 inches of snow has fallen over the past 4 hours, we can find the rate of snowfall per hour by dividing 7 inches by 4 hours.
Rate of snowfall per hour = 7 inches / 4 hours = 1.75 inches per hour.
Now, we can calculate the total inches of snowfall over the next 24 hours by multiplying the rate per hour by the number of hours.
Total inches of snowfall over the next 24 hours = 1.75 inches/hour × 24 hours = 42 inches.
Therefore, if the pace continues, a total of 42 inches of snow will fall over the next 24 hours.
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)
