Between 11 P.M. and 8:10 A.M., the water level in a swimming pool decreased by 5/24 in. Assuming that the water decreased at a constant rate, how much did the water drop each hour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/44 inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 9 hours and 10 minutes during which water decreased by 5/24"

9 hrs, 10 min can be converted to 9 1/6 hours (10 min is 1/6 of 60 min)

5/24 ÷ 9 1/6 = 5/24 x 55/6

5/24 x 6/55 = 1/44
