Question

The number of inches of rain y After X minutes of rainfall during a storm can be modeled by Y=0.003x

How many inches of rain falls in two minutes?

Answer 1

The number of inches of rain fall in two minutes is
`y=0.006`

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the minutes of rainfall during a storm.

Let y denotes the number of inches of rain during a storm.

The number of inches of rain y after x minutes of rainfall during a storm can be modeled by
`y=0.003x`

We need to determine the amount of inches of rain falls in two minutes.

The number of inches of rain fall in two minutes can be determined by substituting
`x=2` in the modeled equation
`y=0.003x`

Thus, we have,

`y=0.003(2)`

Multiplying, we get,

`y=0.006`

Thus, the number of inches of rain fall in two minutes is
`y=0.006`
