Adriel Gonzalez · Answer 1

We are given an equation d = 5h, where d is the depth of snow and h is the number of hours of a snowstorm.

We need to find the number of hours of a snowstorm that accumulate the snow to 1 centimeter.

In order to find the number of hours that accumulate the snow to 1 centimeter, we need to plug d=1 in the given equation.

On plugging d=1, we get

1 = 5h.

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

1/5 = h.

Therefore, it would take 1/5 hour for 1 centimeter of snow to accumulate in Harper's yard
