To complete the table based on a steady rate of rain falling at 2 inches every 3 hours, we can calculate the rainfall for the time values provided. Here's how we can fill in the blanks:
- 3 hours: The rainfall is \(2\) inches.
- 6 hours: To find the rainfall, we can calculate: \[ \text{Rainfall} = \frac{2 \text{ inches}}{3 \text{ hours}} \times 6 \text{ hours} = 4 \text{ inches} \]
- 9 hours: \[ \text{Rainfall} = \frac{2 \text{ inches}}{3 \text{ hours}} \times 9 \text{ hours} = 6 \text{ inches} \]
- 12 hours: \[ \text{Rainfall} = \frac{2 \text{ inches}}{3 \text{ hours}} \times 12 \text{ hours} = 8 \text{ inches} \]
Now, let's fill in the table:
| Time (h) | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 | |------------|---|---|---|----| | Rainfall (in) | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 |
So, the completed table would be:
| Time (h) | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 | |------------|---|---|---|----| | Rainfall (in) | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 |
