Answer: B= 0.075 Inch
Explanation:
Hi, we have to calculate the rate by dividing the amount fell (1.5) by the time in seconds (1 minute = seconds)
Mathematically speaking:
1.5/60= 0.025 inch per second.
Finally we simply have to multiply the result by the 3 seconds.
0.025 x 3 = 0.075 inch
So, the correct option is B.
