Question

A meteorologist forecast that 3.75 inches of rain will fall every day for the next 7 days. If his forecast is correct, about how many total inches of rain will fall over the next 7 days ?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is expected that 26.25 inches of rain will fall over the next 7 days

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the total of inches of rain expected to fall

From the question, 3.75 inches of rain will fall daily

The amount of rain that will thus fall in 7 days will be the product of the amount per day and the number of days

Mathematically, we have this as:

$3.75\text{ }\times\text{ 7 = 26.25 inches}$
