You're welcome.
so the answer is 3/5
To find out how much more precipitation occurs in January through March compared to April through June, we need to subtract the amount of precipitation in April through June from the amount in January through March.
First, let's write the amounts of precipitation in fraction form:
January through March = 21/25 inch
April through June = 6/25 inch
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 25.
Now, let's subtract the fractions:
21/25 - 6/25 = (21 - 6)/25 = 15/25
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which in this case is 5:
15/25 ÷ 5/5 = 3/5
Therefore, the difference in precipitation between January through March and April through June is 3/5 inch.
