<h3>Answer: 155 inches</h3>

This is equivalent to approximately 12.917 feet.

===================================================

Work Shown:

(10 inches)/(2 days) = (x inches)/(31 days)

10/2 = x/31

10*31 = 2*x ... cross multiply

310 = 2x

2x = 310

x = 310/2

x = 155

Keep in mind that this water is being drained on a fairly continuous basis. This means that not all of the water is sticking around (we'd hope not anyway) at the same moment in time.

Note: 155 inches = 155/12 = 12.917 feet approximately.

--------------------------

Alternative method:

If the town got 10 inches in 2 days, this means it rains at a unit rate of 10/2 = 5 inches per day.

Multiply that by 31 days and we get 5*31 = 155 inches of total rain.

Fully explain why an inefficient resource allocation leads an economy to produce at a point inside its production possibilities
Stella [2.4K]
Production possibilities frontier, PPF, is defined as a representation of the point at which a country’s economy is most efficiently producing its goods and services. Efficient production means allocating its resources in the best way possible.
<span>
The points in the PPF shifts outward. The more efficient production is the more the PPF shifts outward. With this in mind, any point found inside the PPF means that there is inefficient resource allocation. If the PPF shifts inward, it means that the efficiency production is regressing and available resources are not fully used to its potential which will lead to a downward turn of the economy.
