Answer 2

According to the question,

rate of rainfall = 2 inches per hour

how many inches will fall in 12 minutes =?

2 inches per hour = 5.08 cm ( 1 inch = 2.54 cm)

1 hour = 12 min

rate of rainfall in 12 mins = $\frac{5.08}{60}$ × $12$

⇒ $\frac{5.08}{5} = 1.016$

rate of rainfall in 12 mins = 1.016 cm per min

1.016 cm = 0.4 inch

0.4 inches will fall in 12 minutes.
