Question

The water level of a certain lake is at 35 feet. Due to recent storms, the water level is rising at a rate of 3 inches per day. How many days will it take the lake to reach a level of 40 feet?

Answer 1

It will take 20 days for the lake to reach a water level of 40 feet.

Explanation:

40ft - 35ft = 5ft

12(in) x 5(ft) = 60in

60(in) ÷ 3 (inches per day) = 20 days
