Question
The graph represents the precipitation over the last 5 hours in tenths of an inch. The x-axis represents time in hours, and the y-axis represents precipitation in tenths of an inch. It rained for the first 2 hours at a rate of 2 tenths of an inch per hour. It then transitioned to snow and snowed at a rate of 3 tenths of an inch per hour for the next 3 hours. How many tenths of an inch did it snow in total?

To find the total amount of snow, we look at the rate of snowfall and the duration it snowed.
It snowed at a rate of 3 tenths of an inch per hour for 3 hours.
To calculate the total snowfall:
\[
\text{Total snowfall} = \text{Rate of snowfall} \times \text{Time} = 3 \text{ tenths of an inch/hour} \times 3 \text{ hours} = 9 \text{ tenths of an inch}
\]
So, the total amount of snow is **9 tenths of an inch**.
It snowed at a rate of 3 tenths of an inch per hour for 3 hours.
To calculate the total snowfall:
\[
\text{Total snowfall} = \text{Rate of snowfall} \times \text{Time} = 3 \text{ tenths of an inch/hour} \times 3 \text{ hours} = 9 \text{ tenths of an inch}
\]
So, the total amount of snow is **9 tenths of an inch**.
