Question

Round 3..............almost out of points .-.

Answer 1

You can use a proportion.

2/3 inch is to 1 hour as 6 2/3 inch is to x hours.

$\dfrac{\frac{2}{3}~inch}{1~hour} = \dfrac{6 \frac{2}{3}~inch}{x}$

Cross multiply to get

$\dfrac{2}{3} x = 6 \dfrac{2}{3}$

$\dfrac{2}{3} x = \dfrac{20}{3}$

$2x = 20$

$x = 10$

Answer: It rained for 10 hours.

Answer 2

6 2/3 ÷ 2/3
= 20/3 ÷ 2/3
= 20/3 × 3/2
= 20/2
= 10

Answer
10 hours
