Question 93094: In the Central Sierra Nevada of California, the percent of moisture that falls as snow rather than rain is approximated reasonably well by: P=86.3inH-680 where P is the percent of moisture as snow at an altitude of H feet. At what altitude is 50% of the moisture snow?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P=86.3inH-680 where P is the percent of moisture as snow at an altitude of H feet. At what altitude is 50% of the moisture snow?
----------
50 = 86.3H - 680
50+680 = 86.3H
H = 8.45 feet

Comment: This doesn't sound right but
that is what your formula implies.
