Answer: 1.6 in per hour

Answer:

hourly rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

As others have noted, it is a simple mathematical division problem (4/2.5) and the average is 1.6 inches per hour.

However, if this is for sizing civil works such as culverts or plumbing storm water drainage systems to mitigate flooding, the highest rate per hour must be known and usually the highest ten minutes rainfall rate expressed as an hourly rate.

For example, if 4.0 inches fell over that 2.5 hours, nothing says that a rain band did not dump 3 inches in the first hour, (3 inches per hour cumulative) or 0.75 inches in a ten minute period (4.5 inches per hour rate), with the remainder of the storm tapering off to lesser rates. So the average is correct, but the peak hour is much more important for practical purposes.

What is the Quotient of 1 and 2/3 divided by 2 and 3/5
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

  25/39

Step-by-step explanation:

For division of mixed numbers, it often works well to first convert them to improper fractions. Then the division proceeds in the usual way: "invert and multiply", or "dot, swap."

__

  1\dfrac{2}{3}\div2\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{5}{3}\div\dfrac{13}{5}=\dfrac{5}{3}\cdot\dfrac{5}{13}\\\\=\dfrac{5\cdot5}{3\cdot13}=\boxed{\dfrac{25}{39}}

Two girls scout troops are completing a wilderness campout. Use the information to answer the questions. The Blue Tripp hikes 2/
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Blue tripp:

Hikes 2/3 miles every 1/2 hour

Yellow troop:

Hikes 3/4 miles every 1/3 hour

How long does it take each troop to walk 1 1/2 miles, 1/2 mile, and 3/4 mile?

To hike 1 1/2 miles

Blue troop:

2/3 miles = 1/2 hours

3/2 miles = x

2/3x = 3/4

x = 3/4 * 3/2

x = 9/8 = 1 1/8 hours

Yellow troop:

3/4 = 1/3 hours

3/2 = x

3/4x = 3/6

x = 3/6 * 4/3

x = 12/18 = 2/3 hours

To hike 1/2 mile :

Blue troop:

2/3 miles = 1/2 hours

1/2 miles = x

2/3x = 1/4

x = 1/4 * 3/2

x = 3/8 hours

Yellow troop:

3/4 = 1/3 hours

1/2 = x

3/4x = 1/6

x = 1/6 * 4/3

x = 4/18 = 2/9 hours

To hike 3/4 miles :

Blue troop:

2/3 miles = 1/2 hours

3/4 miles = x

2/3x = 3/8

x = 3/8 * 3/2

x = 9/16 hours

Yellow troop:

3/4 = 1/3 hours

3/4 = x

3/4x = 3/12

x = 1/4 * 4/3

x = 4/12

x = 1/3 hours
