To determine how much less rainfall Nashville received compared to Miami, we can follow these steps:
-
Find the annual rainfall for Nashville: According to the problem, Albany's annual rainfall is 0.33 inches less than Nashville's. Since Albany receives 46.92 inches, we can set up the equation as follows:
\[ \text{Albany Rainfall} = \text{Nashville Rainfall} - 0.33 \]
Thus, we can rearrange it to find Nashville's rainfall:
\[ \text{Nashville Rainfall} = \text{Albany Rainfall} + 0.33 \] \[ \text{Nashville Rainfall} = 46.92 + 0.33 = 47.25 \text{ inches} \]
-
Calculate how much less rainfall Nashville has compared to Miami: Now we compare Nashville's rainfall with Miami's rainfall:
\[ \text{Miami Rainfall} = 61.05 \text{ inches} \] \[ \text{Nashville Rainfall} = 47.25 \text{ inches} \]
The difference in rainfall between Miami and Nashville is:
\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Miami Rainfall} - \text{Nashville Rainfall} \] \[ \text{Difference} = 61.05 - 47.25 = 13.80 \text{ inches} \]
So, Nashville received 13.80 inches less rainfall than Miami.
