Suppose Rocky Mountain have 72 centimeters of snow. Warmer weather is melting at the rate of 5.8 centimeters a day. If snow continues to melt at this rate, after seven days of warm weather, how much snow will be left?
Snow remaining = Starting snow - melt rate * days
Snow remaining = 72 - 5.8(7)
Snow remaining = 72 - 40.6
Snow remaining = 31.4 cm
