Question

During summer, when the snow melts, the water level of the Yukon River increases. If the water level of the river increased by 78 centimeters in 6 days, what is the water level increase rate in centimeters per day?

Answer 1

13 centimeters per day.

Explanation:

We have been given that during summer, the water level of the river increased by 78 centimeters in 6 days. We are asked to find the water level increase rate in centimeters per day.

To find the water level increase rate per day, we will divide total increase by total days as:

`\text{Water level increase rate per day}=\frac{78\text{ cm}}{6\text{ days}}`

`\text{Water level increase rate per day}=\frac{13\text{ cm}}{\text{ day}}`

Therefore, the water level increase rate is 13 centimeters per day.
