The rain totals for one week in Indiana in November were: 3 in., 0.58 in., 0 in., 1.2 in., 0 in., 0.9 in., and 2.15 in. How much rain fell during the week?

Answer 1

7.83 inches of rain.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem you just have to add up all the values that you are given for the daily rain of the week:

First day: 3 in

Second day: 0.58 in + 3in= 3.58 in

Third day: 0 in + 3.58 in=3.58 in

Fourth day: 1.2 in + 3.58 in= 4.78 in

Fifth day: 0 in +4.78 in= 4.78 in

Sixth day: .9 in +4.78 in= 5.68 in

Seventh day: 2.15 in +5.68 in= 7.93 in

So the total rain that fell during the week was 7.93 inches of rain.

Answer 2

The answer is - 7.83 inches.

It is very easy to come to the result of how much rain has fallen in Indian in the given November week, which seems to be a very rainy one with big amount of precipitation. We should just gather all the numbers and we will get to the sum of them, thus the correct answer.

3 + 0.58 + 0 + 1.2 + 0 + 0.9 + 2.15 = 7.83.
