To answer your questions, I would need to see the graph that depicts the depth of water over time. However, I can guide you on how to extract the information you need if you can describe the graph or the data points it contains.
1. **Finding the rise per hour**: Look for two data points on the graph. Identify the depth of water at the start (time = 0) and after one hour. The difference in depth divided by the time (1 hour) gives the rate of rise per hour.
2. **Depth after four hours**: Check the graph to see the corresponding depth of water at the 4-hour mark.
3. **Time to reach 80 inches**: If the graph shows a linear relationship, you can calculate the time it takes to reach 80 inches based on the rise per hour. Use the formula:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Target Depth} - \text{Initial Depth}}{\text{Rate of Rise}} \]
Please provide the necessary details from the graph or any data points associated with the scenario for precise answers.
