Question

After a 2 1/2 hour rainstorm, there are 5 inches of water in a bucket outside. What is the rate per inch?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2 hours is equivalent to 150 minutes.

Set up a proportion; let x equal inches of rain

$\frac{5}{150}$=$\frac{x}{60}$

Cross multiply -> 150x=300

Divide both sides by 150 to get -> x=2
