Rainfall in July = 2.79 inches.
July has 31 days.
2.79 : 31 = x : 1 Set up the proportion
2.79 / 31 = x/1 Cross multiply and switch.
2.79*1 / 31 = x Do the division

Answer:
3 1/5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion:
, where x is how long the pants are in real life
Cross multiply:
x = (2 2/7) * (1 2/5)
It's easier if we have improper fractions, so convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
2 2/7 = 16/7
1 2/5 = 7/5
Now, put these back in:
x = (16/7) * (7/5) = 16/5 = 3 1/5
Thus, in real life, the pants would be 3 1/5 ft long.
Hope this helps!
