To find out how many hours it rained, divide the total rise in the river by the amount it rose every hour.

First convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

When dividing fractions we flip(the reciprocal) the one we're dividing by and multiply:

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

Simplify by dividing:

So it rained for 10 hours.

Answer:
3 dollars and 9 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Total amount = 20 dollars
Amount for gift A = 9 7/10 dollars
Amount for gift B = 6 2/5 dollars
Amount for gift C =?
The amount of money she has left for gift C can be obtained as follow:
A + B + C = 20
9 7/10 + 6 2/5 + C = 20
Change to improper fraction
97/10 + 32/5 + C = 20
(97 + 64)/10 + C = 20
161/10 + C = 20
Collect like terms
C = 20 – 161/10
C = (200 – 161)/10
C = 39/10
Change to mixed fraction
C = 3 9/10 dollars
C = 3.9
C = 3 dollars and 9 cents
Therefore, Kathy had 3 dollars and 9 cent for gift C
