This is a triple post. You need post only once. Posting more than once gets us confused as to whether we have answered or not and often the question goes unanswered.
To solve this problem, we need to compare the average annual rainfall of Aswan, Egypt, which is 0.02 inch, with 1/4 inch per year.
To determine if the average annual rainfall is more or less than 1/4 inch, we need to evaluate the numerical value of 1/4 inch.
To do this, we can convert 1/4 into a decimal by performing the division 1 ÷ 4, which equals 0.25.
Now, we can compare the average annual rainfall in Aswan, Egypt (0.02 inch) to 0.25 inch per year.
Since 0.02 inch is less than 0.25 inch, we can conclude that the average annual rainfall in Aswan, Egypt is less than 1/4 inch per year.
