Step-by-step explanation:
Over a period of 9 hours and 36 minutes, the water level decreased by 8/25 of an inch.
So the water level decreased at a rate of
(inches it went down)/(time that passed)
Let's get 9 hours and 36 minutes all in minutes: 9(60) + 36 = 576 minutes
Then (8/25)/576 = 8/(25*576) will give us the rate it decreased in inches per minute.
