Answer:
Miami gets 6.12 inches more rainfall.
Explanation:
Given that the average rainfall (in inches) in Miami for 5 months are 1.61, 2.24, 2.99, 3.15, 5.35, and 9.68,
So, the total rainfall in Miami in 5 months,
R_M = 1.61 +2.24 +2.99 +3.15 +5.35 + 9.68 = 25.02 inches
and the average rainfall (in inches) in Tampa for 5 months are 2.24, 2.8, 3.03, 2.05, 2.09, and 6.69.
The total rainfall in Tampa in 5 months,
R_T = 2.24 +2.8 +3.03 + 2.05 + 2.09 + 6.69 = 18.9 inches.
The difference between the total rainfall in Miami and Tampa is 25.02-18.9= 6.12 inches.
The total rainfall in Miami is 25.02 inches while the total rainfall in Tampa in the same time period is 18.9 inches.
Therefore, Miami gets 6.12 inches more rainfall during the same time period.
