Question

During a storm, rain fell at a rate of 0.25
inch every half hour. If the storm lasted 6
hours, how many inches of rain fell?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You would multiply 0.25 times the 6 hours.

0.25 x 6= 1.5

Answer 2

0.25 inch falls every half hour.
In 6 hours there are 12 half hours. So, 0.25*12=3 inches of rain fell.
