Question

A town in east Texas received 40 inches of rain in two weeks. If it kept raining at this rate for a 31−day month, how much rain did the town receive?

Answer 1

First i divided but got 1 r9 so i rounded the quotient up. i rounded the remainder up, and got 10, but rounding the actual quotient up, i would say about 2. so i added 2 and 10 together and got 12. then i multiplied 40 by 12 and got 120. so, they got 120 inches of rain in a 31 day month
