Question

A rain gauge collected 0.2 inches of

rain in 30 minutes. If it keeps
raining at the same rate, what is the
total time it will take to collect 1
inch of rain?

Answer 1

Answer is 150 minutes or 2 hours 30 minutes

Step by step

.2 inches in 30 minutes = 1 inch in x minutes

.2/30 = 1/x cross multiply

.2x = 30

Divide both sides by .2 to solve for x

.2/.2 x = 30/.2

X = 150 minutes to fill the gauge to 1”

Answer 2

you're answer will be 2 hours and 30 minutes
