Answer 1

12.25/25.5=0.4804 inches per hour

Answer 2

Answer: 0.48 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem asks for unit rate. To solve, let's convert the fractions to decimals.

$12\frac{1}{4} =\frac{49}{4} =12.25$

$25\frac{1}{2}=\frac{51}{2}=25.5$

Now that they are in decimals, we can set up a proportion.

$\frac{12.25 in}{25.5 hrs} =\frac{x}{1 hr}$           [cross multiply]

$12.25=25.5x$         [divide both sides by 25.5]

$x=0.48$

Now, we know that there was approximately 0.48 in of rainfall per hour.
