HELP PLZ!!!!!!!!!! :)

A lake is rising at a rate of 4 inches per hour. If the lake rises more than 36 inches, then it will cause flood damage. How long can the lake rise at this rate without causing flood damage?

Answer:

8 hours

Explanation:

it can't be 36 as the answer, and the next multiple before 36 is 32. And if you do 32 divided by 4 then you get 8. The answer is 8 hours.
