Question 532244
The amount s (in inches) of snow that fell during a snowstorm varied directly with the duration d (in hours) of the storm. 
---
s = k*d
---
Solve for "k" using "In the first 2 hours of the storm 5 inches of snow fell."
5 = k*2
k = 5/2
-----
Write a direct variation equation that relates d and s.

Equation:
s = (5/2)d
----
How many inches of snow fell in 6 hours?
s = (5/2)*6
---
snow  = 15 inches
