can someone justify my answer for me -

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You are correct in what you are doing. All you need do is show that what you got can be expressed algebraically.
Let x be the time in hours.
Let y be the snowfall in inches.
The first one does not work.
y = k * x
12 = k * 6 Divide both sides by 6
12/6 = k/6
k = 2
All the rest will fit into this equation.
try x = 2.5
y = k * x
y = 2 * 2.5
y = 5 which is just the amount of snowfall you should get.
