Hello,

Your question states:

How much rain fell on Day 2?

In which you gave us a passage:

Dot collected rainfall data for five days in October. If the total rainfall for the five days was 2.63 inches, how much rain fell on Day 2?

Your answer would be:

0.58 on day two

Answer 2

0.34 + x + 1.11 + 0.17 + 0.43 = 2.63

x + 2.05 = 2.63

x + 2.05 (-2.05) = 2.63 (-2.05)

x = 0.58

0.58 in fell in Day 2
