Respuesta :
1/6 during a rain storm 1/10 inches of rain fell
6/6= one hour 6x 1/10= 6/10 inches
12/6 = 2 hours 12 x 1/10= 12/10 inches
15/6 = 2 and a half hours 15/10 = how much rain fell
1 and a half inches of rain fell in 2 and a half hours 1 1/2 inches
Answer:
The answer is : [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] or [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first 1/6 hour of a rainstorm, 1/10 inch of rain fell.
So, in 1 hour the rain fell = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{10}}{\frac{1}{6} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{10}\times\frac{6}{1}= \frac{6}{10}[/tex] inches
So, in [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] hours, the rain fell = [tex]\frac{5}{2} \times\frac{6}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] inches or [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches.
