Since 7 inches of snow has fallen over the past 4 hours, the rate at which the snow is falling is 7 inches/4 hours.
To determine the total inches that will fall over the next 24 hours, we can set up the following ratio:
7 inches/4 hours = x inches/24 hours.
Solving for x:
x = (7 inches/4 hours) * 24 hours
x = 7 inches * 6
x = 42 inches.
Therefore, a total of 42 inches will fall over the next 24 hours if the pace continues.
