Answer:
3 inches/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
During one winter snow storm in Denver Colorado Jesse noted that 16 inches of snow fell in [tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] hours = [tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex] hours
the snow fell in [tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex] hours = 16 inches
snow fell in 1 hour = [tex]\frac{16}{\frac{16}{3}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{16\times 3}{16}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{48}{16}[/tex]
= 3 inches
The rate of snowfall would be 3 inches/hour.
