What number should be placed in the box to help complete the division calculation? long division setup showing an incomplete calculation. 15 is in the divisor, 6396 is in the dividend, and 4 hundreds and 2 tens is written in the quotient. 6000 is subtracted from 6396 to give 396. An unknown value represented by a box is being subtracted from 396.

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
