Question:
The water content of snow is affected by the temperature, wind speed, and other factors present when the snow is falling. The average snow-to-liquid ratio is 10 in. of snow to 1 in. of liquid precipitation. This means that if 10 in. of snow fell and was melted, it would produce 1 in. of liquid precipitation in a rain gauge.
Use a proportion to solve each problem.
A wet, sticky snow good for making a snow man might have a snow-to-liquid ratio of 5 to 1. How many inches of fresh snow would produce 3.25 in. of liquid precipitation using this ratio?
