The best way to approach this problem is to find out how much fell in week. As you know what two weeks is, you simply have to halve this, giving you that one week is 5 inches of rain. One you have this, you can multiply this by 4 (as this will give you 4 weeks, or 28 days), and this gives you 20 inches in 28 days. You should then find the odd three days. If you divide 5 by 7, this will give you the rain fall in one day. 5/7= 0.8 inches per day. You then have top multiply this by 3 (as you've got three odd days), and this gives you 2.4. You then have to add together 2.4 and 20, giving you 22.4
Therefore, if the rain continued to fall at the same rate for 31 days, it would receive 22.4 inches of rain.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m=\frac{3}{32}\\ \gamma =0\text{ damping constant.}\\ k=\frac{3}{\frac{1}{4}}=12\\ F(t)=0\\ \text{so equation of motion is }\\ mu''+\gamma u'+ku=F(t)\\ \frac{3u''}{32}+12u=0\\ u''+128u=0\\ \text{and initial conditions are}\\ u(0)=-\frac{1}{12}\\ u'(0)=2\\ u''+128u=0\\ \text{characterstic equation is}\\ r^2+128=0\\ \text{roots are }\\ r=\pm 8\sqrt{2}i\\ \text{therefore general solution is}\\ u(t)=A\cos8\sqrt{2}t+Bsin8\sqrt{2}t\\ \text{using initial conditions we get}\\ A=-\frac{1}{12}\\ B=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{8}\\ \text{therefore solution is }\\ u(t)=-\frac{1}{12}\cos8\sqrt{2}t+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{8}\sin8\sqrt{2}t\\
{hence}\\R=\sqrt{\frac{11}{288}}\\\\\sigma=\pi - \tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\\omega_0=8\sqrt{2}\\T=\frac{4}{4\sqrt{2}}
