To find the total rainfall in Charlotte for the weekends in July, we need to add the amounts of rainfall for each weekend:
- First weekend: 1.05 inches
- Second weekend: 2.3 inches
- Third weekend: 1.73 inches
- Fourth weekend: 0.88 inches
Now, let's perform the addition:
\[ 1.05 + 2.3 + 1.73 + 0.88 \]
Calculating step by step:
- \(1.05 + 2.3 = 3.35\)
- \(3.35 + 1.73 = 5.08\)
- \(5.08 + 0.88 = 5.96\)
Thus, the total rainfall in Charlotte for the weekends in July is 5.96 inches.
