The rainfall in a town was 2.3 inches above normal in June. In July, the rainfall was 1.2 inches below normal. What was the difference in rainfall between the months?(
To find the difference in rainfall between June and July, we need to subtract the rainfall in July from the rainfall in June.
June rainfall: 2.3 inches above normal
July rainfall: 1.2 inches below normal
Difference = June rainfall - July rainfall
Difference = 2.3 - (-1.2)
Difference = 2.3 + 1.2
Difference = 3.5 inches
Therefore, the difference in rainfall between June and July is 3.5 inches.
June rainfall: 2.3 inches above normal
July rainfall: 1.2 inches below normal
Difference = June rainfall - July rainfall
Difference = 2.3 - (-1.2)
Difference = 2.3 + 1.2
Difference = 3.5 inches
Therefore, the difference in rainfall between June and July is 3.5 inches.
A submarine was at a depth of 106.3 feet below sea level. After 5 hours, the submarine was at 481.2 feet below sea level. How far did the submarine travel?(1 point)
The submarine traveled feet.
The submarine traveled feet.
To find the distance traveled by the submarine, we need to calculate the difference in depth between the starting point and the final point.
Starting depth: 106.3 feet below sea level
Final depth: 481.2 feet below sea level
Distance traveled = Final depth - Starting depth
Distance traveled = 481.2 - 106.3
Distance traveled = 374.9 feet
Therefore, the submarine traveled 374.9 feet.
Starting depth: 106.3 feet below sea level
Final depth: 481.2 feet below sea level
Distance traveled = Final depth - Starting depth
Distance traveled = 481.2 - 106.3
Distance traveled = 374.9 feet
Therefore, the submarine traveled 374.9 feet.

To find the change in height, we need to subtract the initial height of the parasail from the final height.
Initial height: 1/20 meter
Final height: 1/50 meter
Change in height = Final height - Initial height
Change in height = (1/50) - (1/20)
Change in height = (1/50) - (2/100)
Change in height = 1/50 - 1/50
Change in height = 0
Therefore, the change in height is 0 meters.
Initial height: 1/20 meter
Final height: 1/50 meter
Change in height = Final height - Initial height
Change in height = (1/50) - (1/20)
Change in height = (1/50) - (2/100)
Change in height = 1/50 - 1/50
Change in height = 0
Therefore, the change in height is 0 meters.
