One morning it began to snow very hard and continued snowing steadily throughout the day. A snowplow set out at 8:00 A.M. to clear a road, clearing 2 mi by 11:00 A.M. and an additional mile by 1:00 P.M. At what time did it start snowing?
Before tackling the problem, the following assumptions are made:
1). The rate of snow fall is constant.
2). The rate of progress of the snow plow is inversely proportional to the depth of the snow.
I thought I'd throw this in for fun. Enjoy!
