Question

On Monday,1 7/8 inches of rain fell. On Tuesday,it rained 1/4 inch. What was the total rainfall for the two days?

Answer 1

2 1/8 inches

Explanation:

You need to add the two amounts of rainfall together to get your answer, which is 1 7/8 + 1/4. To add these fractions, make the fractions equivalent. To find equivalent fractions, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Since 1/4 can be 2/8, you can now add 1 7/8 + 2/8. This equals 2 1/8.

Therefore, the total rainfall for the two days was 2 and 1/8 inches.

IM SO SORRY IF THIS DID NOT MAKE SENSE!

Answer 2

2.125 inches

Explanation:

We Know

On Monday, 1 7/8 inches of rain fell. On Tuesday, it rained 1/4 inch.

1 7/8 = 15/8

What was the total rainfall for the two days?

We Take

15/8 + 1/4 = 15/8 + 2/8 = 17/8 inches of rainfall

17/8 = 2.125

So, the total rainfall for the two days is 2.125 inches.
