    In 15 minutes, 4 2/7 inches of rain fell. In 28 minutes, 8 inches of rain fell.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First, find the amount of rain fell in 1 minute. Divide the total rain by how long it took for it all to fall.

    12/42 = (2/7)

    Then, multiply that number by the amount of time.

    (2/7) * 15=30/7

    (2/7) * 28=8
