Final answer:

To find the total rise in the stream's water level over 412 hours, with a hourly rise rate of 214 inches, you multiply the two figures to get a total rise of 88168 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the rise in the water level for a stream that goes up by 214 inches every hour for 412 hours, we multiply the rate of increase (214 inches/hour) by the number of hours (412 hours).

  1. Multiply the hourly rise in water level by the total hours: 214 inches/hour × 412 hours.
  2. Calculate the product to find the total rise in water level: 88168 inches.

Therefore, the water level in the stream rose a total of 88168 inches during the 412 hours.
