Under normal condition, 1.5 feet of snow will melt into 2 inches of water. after a recent snowstorm, there were 4 feet of snow. how many inches of water will there be when the snow melts?

5.33 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under normal condition, 1.5 feet of snow will melt into 2 inches of water.

As we know 1 feet = 12 inches

1.5 feet  = 12 × 1.5 = 18 inches

4 feet  = 12 × 4  = 48 inches

Now we use unitary method

∵ 18 inches snow will melt into water = 2 inches

∴ 1 inches snow will melt into water  = inches

∴ 48 inches snow will melt into water = ×48

                                                              = 5.33 inches of water.

5.33 inches of water will there be when the snow melts.
