Seattle, Washington is known for being very rainy. One day last month, 8 inches of rain fell in 1 1/2 hours. What is the rate of rainfall expressed in feet per hour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.44ft/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Quantity of rainfall  = 8inches

            1ft  = 12inches

   so;

            [tex]\frac{8}{12}[/tex]   = 0.67ft

Time  = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]hr

Unknown:

Rate of rainfall expressed in ft/hr  = ?

Solution:

The rate of the rainfall is given as;

    Rate  = [tex]\frac{Quantity}{time}[/tex]  

  Rate  = [tex]\frac{0.67ft}{\frac{3}{2} }[/tex]    = 0.44ft/hr
