Answer:
It will take 7.2 hours to produce a feet of snow.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the time taken it will take to produce feet of snow, we will follow the steps below;
First we will change the feet to inches
I feet = 12 inches
Using proportion;
Lat the time taken to produce a feet of snow be x
5 inches = 3 hours
12 inches = x
Cross-multiply
5×x = 12× 3
5x = 36 hours
Divide both-side of the equation by 5
[tex]\frac{5x}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{36}{5}[/tex]
(At the left-hand side of the equation 5 will cancel-out 5 leaving us with just x while at the right-hand side of the equation 36 will be divided by 5)
x = 7. 2 hours.
Therefore, it will take 7.2 hours to produce a feet of snow.
