Question

Question 1: Imagine that we are measuring rain fall with a rain gauge. It is raining

at a rate of 1.25 inches per hour and after 5 hours, there are 6 inches of rain in the
gauge.
How much rain will be in the gauge in 11 hours

Answer 1

13.5 inches

Explanation:

after 5 hours = 6 inches

11 - 5 = 6 hours to go

1.25 x 6 = 7.5 inches

7.5 + 6 = 13.5 inches
