After completing a 10 hour walk, Chester Snowman goes inside to get warm. As he sits by the fire, he starts to melt at a rate of 3 inches per hour. Starting at the height he reached at the end of his walk, determine Chester's height after sitting by the fire for 10 hours.

Answers


We can't tell you the height after sitting by the fire

             (10 hours) x (3 inches/hour)  =  30 inches

shorter after 10 hours by the fire.
