On Tuesday 1.2 inches of rain fell. Two more inches of rain fell the next day. How many inches of rain fell on Wednesday?
I don't know what to do
The question is ambiguous. Taking the simple statement that two more inches fell on Wednesday, then then the answer is 2 inches.
Or --
1.2 + 2 = 3.2 inches
But in the question does it already give the answer? It said 2 inches of rain fell the next day. Then it said how many inches of rain fell on wednesday?
So its 2?
Wednesday is the next day after Tuesday.
I know. So I think its 2 cause it doesnt say anything about adding
To calculate the total amount of rain that fell on Wednesday, you need to add the amount of rain that fell on Tuesday (1.2 inches) to the additional 2 inches of rain that fell on Wednesday.
So, to find the total amount of rain, you simply add these two amounts together:
1.2 inches + 2 inches = 3.2 inches
Therefore, a total of 3.2 inches of rain fell on Wednesday.
