Question 358676: The function W(d)=0.112d approximates the amount, in centimeters, of water that results from d cm of snow melting. Find the amount of water that results from snow melting from depths of 18cm, 28cm and 95 cm.
Can you help me do this problem correctly?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The function W(d)=0.112d approximates the amount, in centimeters, of water
that results from d cm of snow melting.
Find the amount of water that results from snow melting from depths of 18cm, 28cm and 95 cm.
:
This is not hard, d is the number of cm of snow, W(d) is amt of water it makes
:
W(d) = .112d
Substitute 18 cm for d
W(d) = .112*18
W(d) = 2.016 cm of water
:
Same with d=28cm
W(d) = .112d
Substitute 28 cm for d
W(d) = .112*28
W(d) = 3.136 cm of water
:
You should be able to find it when d=95 cm now
