Answer:
The time it took until 2 inches of rain fell is 8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that the proportional relationship between the amount of time (in hours) it had been raining, x, and the amount of rain (in inches) it had fallen, y, is y = 0.25*x
To find the time that passed until 2 inches of rain fell, you must replace the amount of rain (in inches) that had fallen "and" by that value. In this way the following expression is obtained:
2= 0.25*x
Solving:

8 = x
So, remembering that the amount of time it had been raining, x, is expressed in hours, <u><em>the time it took until 2 inches of rain fell is 8 hours</em></u>.
Yes this is using the transitive property
Point A leads to point B, B goes to C, so overall A goes to C. Think of it connecting a chain.
Nice job on getting the correct answer.
Combine like terms:
-12 + 5a - a - 6a + 8a + 8 + 3a

5a - a = 4a
4a - 6a = -2a
-2a + 8a = 6a
6a + 3a = 9a
-12 + 8 = -4
Answer

Answer:
8.5 hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
-A 75th percentile mathematically means that 75% of the time data points are below that value and 25% of the time are above that value.
-We plot the given our data {3 12 2 3 5} to determine the 75th percentile
#We can use
to plot our boxplot.
-From the plot, we find our 75th percentile to be 8.5 hrs
Hence, 75% of the time the number of hours spent to prepare was less than 8.5hrs.
