Question

Over the past 7 hours 7 inches of snow has fallen, how many total inches will fall over the next 24 hours of the pace continues?

Answer 1

If 7 inches of snow has fallen in the past 7 hours, then the rate of snowfall is 1 inch per hour (7 inches / 7 hours = 1 inch/hour).

Therefore, if the same pace continues for the next 24 hours, the total amount of snow that will fall is 1 inch/hour x 24 hours = <<1*24=24>>24 inches.
