Question

Dot collected rainfall data for five days in October. If the total rainfall for the five days was 2.63 inches, how much rain fell on Day 2? A) 0.37 inch B) 0.46 inch C) 0.58 inch D) 0.63 inch

Answer 1

0.34 + x + 1.11 + 0.17 + 0.43 = 2.63

x + 2.05 = 2.63

x + 2.05 (-2.05) = 2.63 (-2.05)

x = 0.58

0.58 in fell in Day 2

C is the correct answer
