During a heavy rain storm, a city in Florida received 12 1/4 inches of rain in 25 12 hours what is the approixmate rainfall rate in inches per hour

12 1/4 = (12x4+1) : 4 = 49/4 inches of rain

The number of hours is 2512

So we do the division to find out the approximate rainfall rate in inches per hour:

49/4 : 2512 = 0.0049 inches per hours

But I found you wrongly typed the hours 25 1/2 = 51/2

If it is true we have the approximate rainfall rate in inches per hour:

49/4 : 51/2 = 49/4 x 2/51 = 0.48 inches per hour
