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.image


Use a proportion to solve each problem.


A dry snow might have a snow-to-liquid ratio of 18 to 1. Using this ratio, how much liquid precipitation would be produced by 31.5 in. of snow?
