Answer:
a = 1.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Table for the rain in Seattle shows a proportional relation between "Time" and "Rain".
After 6 hours, 4 inches of rain has fallen.
Rain ∝ Time
Or
R ∝ T
R = kT [Where k = proportionality constant]
T = [tex]\frac{R}{k}[/tex]
For T = 6 hours and R = 4 inches
k = [tex]\frac{R}{T}[/tex]
k = [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Similarly, R = 1 inch,
T = [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}}[/tex]
T = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] = 1.5 hours
Therefore, a = 1.5 hours will be the answer.
Option (B) will be the correct option.
