Hello everyone. I have this simple math problem that is worth 5 marks and I am not sure if it is right. Anyway it is on precipitation, here it is!
Record the amount of water (in centimetres) the tipping bucket rain gauge received. Calculate the total volume of water this would equal if this amount fell over the City of Guelph (area 86km squared). Is this volume greater or less than the average volume of water which flows through the city in the Spped River during a 24 hour period (average flow rate = 5.8mcubed per second).
Okay so first I am having trouble calculating the volume, I don't know why:
my recordings are: the amount of water (in centimetres) is four tenths of an inch--coverted equals 1.01600cm.
so, can I calculate this by multiplying 1.01600 x 86km
THANKS!
