The correct answer is –1.2.
Explanation: To find the change in inches over a specific time, you would multiply the rate of evaporation by the number of hours. However, since the problem does not specify a time frame, we can assume a time frame of 24 hours for this example.
Calculation:
0.05 inches/hour × 24 hours = 1.2 inches (this is how much water evaporates).
Since evaporation reduces the amount of water, we express this as a negative change: –1.2 inches.
