Question

It rains an inch and a half in 8 hours. If it rains at the same rate the rest of the day, how much more will it rain? ____inches

(Please explain how you got your answer)

Answer 1

Answer: Yoo

To find out how much more it will rain, we can use the information given to calculate the rate of rain in inches per hour. We know that it rained an inch and a half in 8 hours, so the rate of rain is:

(1.5 inches) / (8 hours) = 0.1875 inches/hour

Now that we know the rate of rain, we can use it to find out how much more it will rain in the rest of the day. We can assume that the rest of the day has 16 hours, so we can use the rate of rain to find out how much more it will rain:

(0.1875 inches/hour) x (16 hours) = 3 inches

So, it will rain 3 inches more the rest of the day.

We can also check this by multiplying the inches per hour (1.5/8) by the number of hours in a day (24) and subtracting the inches of rain fallen (1.5 inches)

(1.5/8)*24-1.5 = 3

This means that it will rain 3 inches more the rest of the day.
