Question

If it has rained $376mm$in the last week$\left(7days\right),$ how many centimeters of rain will fall in the next $5$days? Assume that the rain continues to fall at the same rate.

Answer 1

The measure of rain in last week$\left(7days\right)=376mm$

The measure of rain in one day $=\frac{376}{7}mm$

The measure of rain in next $5$days $=\frac{376}{7}\times 5$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{1880}{7}mm \\ =268.57mm \\ =\frac{268.57}{10}cm\left[1mm=\frac{1}{10}cm\right] \\ =26.857cm \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the measure of rain in next 5 days will be $26.857cm$
