By finding the proportional relation, we can get the complete table:
time (hours) rain (inches)
1.43 1
1 0.7
5 3.5
9.5 6.56
x 0.7*x

How to complete the given table?</h3>
Here we need to complete the table:
time (hours) rain (inches)
a 1
1 b
5 3.5
9.5 c
x d
We know that the rain and the time must meet a proportional relationship, so if y is the rain in inches and x is the time in hours, the relation is:
y = k*x
Where k is the constant of proportionality.
We know that after 5 hours, 3.5 inches of rain have fallen, then we can replace that in the above formula:
3.5 = k*5
3.5/5 = k
0.7= k
Then the proportional relation is:
y = (0.7)*x
Now let's complete the table. On the first pair we have:
x = a, y = 1
Replacing that in the proportional relation we can find the value of a.
1 = 0.7*a
1/0.7 = a = 1.43
For the next pair, we have x = 1, y = b
b = 0.7*1 = 0.7
the next pair is x = 9.5, y = c
c = 0.7*9.5 = 6.65
The last pair is just the prooortional relationship:
d = y = 0.7*x
Then the complete table is:
time (hours) rain (inches)
1.43 1
1 0.7
5 3.5
9.5 6.56
x 0.7*x
