Question

Explain too,thank you

Answer 1

In 1/6 hour, 1/10 inch of snow fell.

So to find the unit rate per hour, we need to make a proportion.

$\frac{\frac{1}{6} }{\frac{1}{10} } = \frac{1}{x}$

1/6 is 10 minutes out of an hour so 6/6 or 1 would be an hour.

We can cross multiply. 1/10 * 1 = 1/10, 1/6 * x = 1/6x

1/6x = 1/10

Divide both sides by 1/6 to isolate x.

x = 3/5

Every hour, 3/5 inch of rain will fall.
