Answer:
The fraction of the rain filled in the gauge will be =

.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
After of an hour of rain the rain gauge is
filed.
To find the fraction of the rain that will be filled in the gauge if it continues to rain at the same rate for 15 more minutes.
Solution:
15 minutes in hours will be = =
of an hour.
Given that it has rained for of an hour, and it continues to rain for
of an hour more.
Thus, total time of rain will be =
Using unitary method to find the fraction of rain filled in the gauge after 1 hour of rain.
If in of an hour of rain the rain gauge is
filed.
Thus, in 1 hour of rain the gauge will be filled by =
To divide fractions, we take reciprocal of the divisor and replace division by multiplication.

Thus, the fraction of the rain filled in the gauge will be =
