Question

A town in east Texas received 30 inches of rain in two weeks. If it kept raining at this rate for a 31−day month, how much rain did the town receive? Round your answer to the nearest inch.

Answer 1

Answer:

66 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

This implies that in this specific town in Texas, an average of 30 inches of rain falls every two weeks.

Amount of rain received every two weeks (14 days) = 30 inches.

For a 31 day month, we have:

     $\frac{31}{14}$ =  2$\frac{3}{14}$

Therefore for a 31 day month, the amount of rain received by the town can be determined as;

                               = 30 x 2$\frac{3}{14}$

                               = 66.4285

                               = 66 inches

The amount of rain received by the town is 66 inches for the 31 days.
