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.
3/4 is bigger than 2/5. Hope that helps
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line 3x+2y=8 and passes through (-5,2).
The given line can be expressed as:

We can see the slope of this line is m1=-3/2.
The slopes of two perpendicular lines, say m1 and m2, meet the condition:

Solving for m2:



Now we know the slope of the new line, we use the slope-point form of the line:

Where m is the slope and (h,k) is the point. Using the provided point (-5,2):

A and C I think. I hope I helped a little bit
3/4 is greater than 1/4! Imagine a cake with four slices in it, would you rather eat one slice out of four or three slices out of four? Three slices out of four is more than just one slice, and the more the cake the better~ Hope this helps! c:
