4 inches of rain would fall in 6 hours
Given that, A rain storm came through Clifton park
And it was accumulating [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] inches of rain/hour
So amount of rain accumulated in 1 hour = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Thus amount of rain accumulated in six hours is calculated by multiplying the amount of water accumulating per hour and 6
Amount of water accumulated in 6 hours = Amount of water accumulated in 1 hour [tex]\times[/tex] 6
[tex]\text { Amount of water accumaulated in 6 hours }=\frac{2}{3} \times 6=4[/tex]
Another way:
Let "n" be the amount of rain accumulated in 6 hours
1 hour ⇒ [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] rain accumulated
6 hours ⇒ "n"
By cross multiplication, we get
[tex]6 \times \frac{2}{3} = 1 \times n\\\\n = \frac{2}{3} \times 6 = 4[/tex]
Hence, 4 inches of rain would fall in 6 hours.
