Final answer:
After subtracting Sunday's rainfall of 4 3/4 inches from the total weekly rainfall of 10 inches, the amount of rainfall for each of the remaining six days is calculated to be 7/8 inch.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked a question related to basic division and subtraction in mathematics. The total rainfall for the week was 10 inches, with a specific amount given for Sunday. To find out how much it rained on each of the remaining six days, we first subtract the rainfall on Sunday from the total weekly rainfall and then divide the result by six.
On Sunday, it rained 4 3/4 inches. To work out how much rain fell on each of the remaining days we do the following calculations:
- Convert 4 3/4 inches to an improper fraction, which is 19/4 inches.
- Subtract 19/4 inches from the total weekly rainfall of 10 inches (which is also 40/4 inches when expressed as a fraction with the same denominator).
- The remaining rainfall amount is (40/4 inches - 19/4 inches) = 21/4 inches.
- Divide 21/4 inches by 6 to find out how much it rained on each of the other days.
- The rainfall on each of the six days is (21/4 inches) / 6 = 21/24 inches, which can be simplified to 7/8 inches.
Therefore, it rained 7/8 inch on each of the remaining six days of the week.
