A glacier moves about 12 inches every 36 hours. About how far does the glacier move in 1 week?

So first you would divide 12 in half to figure out how many inches it moves in 24 hours (or 1 day) which would be 6 inches every 24 hours. You then multiply 6 (inches per day) by 7 (# of days). You end up with 42 inches in 7 days. Hope this helps

The glacier moves about 56 inches in one week, calculated based on its movement of 12 inches every 36 hours. This is determined by first finding its hourly movement and then extrapolating that to daily and weekly movement. The final total is derived from multiplying the daily movement by the number of days in a week.
