Answer:
4.5ft of snow will melt to 18 inches of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by a rule of three.
Under typical conditions, 0.5 feet of snow will melt to 2 inches of water. To how many inches of water will 4.5 ft of snow melt
So 0.5ft of snow is 2 inches of water. 4.5 ft of snow is x inches of water
0.5 ft of snow - 2 inches of water
4.5ft of snow - x inches of wather
[tex]0.5x = 2*4.5[/tex]
[tex]0.5x = 9[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{9}{0.5}[/tex]
[tex]x = 18[/tex]
4.5ft of snow will melt to 18 inches of water.
