Question 25007: Snow is approximately 1/8 as heavy as water. How many inches of snow would it take to weigh as much as 3 1/2 inches of rainfall? Answer by Paul(988) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First convert 3 1/2 into improper fraction = 7/2
Now divide the rainfall by the snow.
7/2 divide by 1/8
Flip
7/2 multiply by 8/1
56/2
x = 28
Hence it would take about 28 inches of snowfall to weigh as the rainfall.
