Over the past 4 hours, 7 inches of snow has fallen. How many total inches will fall over the next 24 hours if the pace continues?(
To find out how many inches of snow will fall over the next 24 hours if the pace continues, we need to find the rate of snowfall per hour.
The rate of snowfall per hour is 7 inches / 4 hours = 1.75 inches per hour.
So over the next 24 hours, the total inches of snowfall will be 1.75 inches/hour * 24 hours = 42 inches. Answer: \boxed{42}.
