Explanation:

Given:

A rainstorm produce a rainfall of 2 inches per hour.

To Find:

How many hours would it take to get a rainfall amount of 1 foot?

Solution:

12 inches = 1 foot

rainfall of 2 inches = in one hour

rainfall of 12 inches = x hour

Therefore the equation will be

`(2)/(12)= (1)/(x) \\\\\therefore x=(12)/(2)=6\\\therefore x=6\ hour`

Therefore in 6 hours it will take to get a rainfall amount 1 foot.
