Answer:
The town received approximately 44.29 inches of rain during a 31−day month.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
The amount of rain for two weeks = 20 inches.
For finding amount of rain for 31 days, we use the unitary method.
∵ Amount of rain for 14 days = [tex]20\ inches[/tex]
∴ Amount of rain for 1 day = [tex]\frac{20\ inches}{14}[/tex]
∴ Amount of rain for 31 day = [tex]\frac{20\ inches}{14}\times31=\frac{620}{14}\ in=44.285\approx 44.29\ in[/tex]
Hence the amount of rain the town received is 44.29 inches approximately.
