One afternoon 10 inches of falls in 1 1/4 hours. At this rate how many inches of snow will fall in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of snowfall can be computed as inches of snow per hour.

rate = 10 inches / (1.25 hours).

The denominator is the improper fraction 5/4. To divide by 5/4, you multiply numerator by 4/5.

4/5 of 10 is 8; therefore the rate is 8 inches/hour
