8:00 5.6
9:00 8.9
10:00 12.4
11:00 7.2
12:00 ...
Find Albert's estimate of the total water drained through Mill Brook during those 4 hours.

1 hour has 60minute s
by left end point
total water drained through Mill Brook during those 4 hours=(5.6*60)+(8.9*60)+(12.4*60)+(7.2*60)
total water drained through Mill Brook during those 4 hours=2046
