ten inches of snow is equivalent to about one inch of rain. write an equation for the amount of precipitation measured in inches of rain, r=f(s), as a function of the number of inches of snow, s.
Answer:
Equation is f(s) = \(\frac{s}{10}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ 10 inches of snow is equivalent to 1 inch of rain.
∴ 1 inch of snow will be equivalent to \(\frac{1}{10}\) inch of rain.
∴ s inches of snow will be equivalent to \(\frac{s}{10}\) inch of rain.
We can rewrite this expression in the form of a function as
f(s) = \(\frac{s}{10}\).
Answer is f(s) = \(\frac{s}{10}\).
