9 days in desert hill. 63/7=9 (:
Let's denote the number of days it rained in the desert hills last year as x.
According to the information given, the number of days it rained in mudville is 7 times the number of days it rained in the desert hills.
Therefore, we can write the equation: 7x = 63.
To solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 7: x = 63 / 7.
Simplifying the right side of the equation gives: x = 9.
Therefore, it rained for 9 days in the desert hills last year.
To find the number of days it rained in the desert last year, we need to first calculate the number of days it rained in Mudville.
According to the information given, it rained on 63 days in Mudville last year.
Next, we need to determine the ratio of the number of days of rain between Mudville and Desert Hills.
