Answer:
- Smithville had a faster rate of snowfall.
- Snow fell in Middletown at a rate of 3 inches per hour.
- Snow fell in Smithville at a rate of 4 inches per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
rate is calculated as follows:
rate = (inches of snowfall)/(time in hours)
For Smithville:
rate = (10 inches)/(2.5 hours) = 4 inches per hour
For Middletown :
rate = (15 inches)/(5 hours) = 3 inches per hour
