the answer 32/43

Explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three. Remember that proportionality is a constant relationship or ratio between different magnitudes.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other, the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So,  

The direct rule of three is the rule applied in this case as follows: If the change in water level is 0.05 inches per hour, what is the change in water level after 24 hours?

change in water level=1.2 inches

To pass a decimal number to a fraction, you must:

Put the decimal number in a fraction above a 1. That is, the decimal number is the numerator, 1 the denominator.

Find an equivalent fraction. That fraction will carry in the denominator a 1, an

Finally, the change in the water level of the pond after 24 hours is 1.2 inches or what is the same  inches

the answer is the second one.
