Answer 1

30,93- (1,02+3,6)=30,93-4,62= 26,31

Answer 2

Option A is correct

26.31 inches fell during the other months.

Explanation:

As per the statement:

The weather bureau reported a total rainfall of 30.93 inches.

⇒Total rainfall reported = 30.93 inches

It is also given that:

if it rained 1.02 inches one month and 3.6 inches a second month.

⇒rainfall in two months reported = 1.02+3.6 = 4.62 inches

We have to find how many inches fell during the other months.

`\text{Rainfall fell during the other month} = 30.93 - 4.62 =26.31` inches

Therefore, 26.31 inches fell during the other months.
