Question

The number of inches of rain,y,after x minutes of rainfall during a storm can be modeled by the equation y=0.003x How many inches of rain will have fallen after 2 minutes

Answer 1

Therefore 0.006 inches of rain will have fallen after 2 minutes.

Explanation:

Given that,

y = 0.003x

where y is the number of inches of rain after x minutes.

To find the number of inches of rain after 2 minutes, we plug x = 2 minutes in above model equation.

∴ y= 0.003×2

=0.006

Therefore 0.006 inches of rain will have fallen after 2 minutes.
