Question

There are 5 inches of water in a bucket after 212 hours of a rainstorm. How much water will there be in the bucket after 8 hours if the rain continues at the same rate?

Answer 1

0.188 inches

Explanation:

Given that,

There are 5 inches of water in a bucket after 212 hours of a rainstorm

We need to find how much water will there be in the bucket after 8 hours if the rain continues at the same rate.

5 inches = 212 hours

1 hour = (5/212) inches

For 8 hours,

`((5)/(212))* 8\\\\=0.188\ \text{inhces}`

Hence, there will be 0.188 inches of water after 8 hours.
