Question

Abraham draws an equation to find how much more rain falls on Monday than on Tuesday. If it rains 0.9 on Monday and 0.56 on Tuesday, what is the equation that Abraham draws?

Answer 1

Abraham would set up an equation subtracting the amount of rain on Tuesday from the amount of rain on Monday to find the difference. In this case, the equation is 0.9 – 0.56 = 0.34 inches, showing that 0.34 inches more rain fell on Monday than on Tuesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much more rain falls on Monday than on Tuesday, Abraham would set up the following equation:

Amount of rain on Monday – Amount of rain on Tuesday = Difference in rainfall

Given the values:

• Amount of rain on Monday = 0.9 inches
• Amount of rain on Tuesday = 0.56 inches

The equation would be:

0.9 – 0.56 = Difference in rainfall

To calculate the difference, we subtract:

0.9 – 0.56 = 0.34

So, the difference in rainfall between Monday and Tuesday is 0.34 inches.
