Amelia and her brother had a snow day, so they played in the snow for 3 hours. During that time, it snowed another 4.8 inches. If the snow fell at a steady pace, how much snow fell each hour?

1.6 inches per hour. you would divide 4.8 by 3 which is equal to 1.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
