Question

we can calculate the depth ( d ) of snow, in centimeters, that accumulates in harper’s yard during the first ( h ) hours of a snowstorm using the equation ( d = 5h ).

how many hours does it take for 1 centimeter of snow to accumulate in harper’s yard?

(square) hours

how many centimeters of snow accumulate per hour?

(square) centimeters

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute d=1 into equation

$1 = 5h$

Step2: Solve for h

$h = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2$

Step3: Identify rate from equation

The equation $d=5h$ shows the coefficient of $h$ is the hourly accumulation rate.

Answer:

0.2 hours
5 centimeters
