Question

After raining for 3/4 of an hour, a rain gauge is 2/5 filled. If it continues to rain at that rate for 15 more minutes, what fraction of the rain gauge will be filled? To help answer this question, Diego wrote the division equation 3/4 divided by 2/5 =? Explain why this equation does not represent the situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

part of rain gauge is filled after 1 hour.

Explanation:

Given:

After raining for of an hour a rain gauge is filled

To Find:

The fraction of the rain gauge that will be filled if it continues to rain at rate for 15 more minutes=?

Solution:

We know that, 15 minutes are of a hour

Then, we have to find the fraction of rain gauge filled after of hour more,

Then, we have to find after of hour + of hour is 1 hour.

Now, hour = of rain gauge

In 1 hour n of rain gauge is filled.

Then, n x = x 1

n = \times

n =

Hence, part of rain gauge is filled after 1 hour.
