The annual rainfall in Albany is 0.33 inch less than the annual rainfall in Nashville. How much less rainfall in Nashville get than Miami? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:
`13.8\ inches\ less`

Explanation:

The missing table is attached.

Let be "n" the annual rainfall in Nashville (in inches), "a" the annual rainfall in Albany (in inches) and "m" the annual rainfall in Miami (in inches).

According to the exercise, you know that the annual rainfall in Albany is 0.33 inch less than the annual rainfall in Nashville. This can be expressed as:

`a=n-0.33`

Based on the table:

`a=46.92`

Therefore, you can substitute this value into the equation
`aa=n-0.33` and solve for "n":

`46.92=n-0.33\\\\46.92+0.33=n\\\\n=47.25`

In order to find how much less rainfall in Nashville get than Miami, subtract "m" and "n":

`m-n=61.05-47.25=13.8`
