inches

Explanation:

From the image we know that the greatest amount of rainfall is 2 inches, and the least is 1/8. If we subtract these two, we'll find the difference

2-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{16-1}{8}=\frac{15}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}2−

Therefore, the difference between the greatest and least amount of rainfall is 1\frac{7}{8} inches1

Remember that the greatest amount of rainfall is represented by the greatest number, and the least amount of rainfall is represented by the least number.

I hope it helps you
