The rain fall 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?

Answer 1

To find the difference in rainfall between June and July, we need to subtract the amount of rainfall in July from the amount of rainfall in June.

In June, the rainfall was 2.3 inches above normal.
In July, the rainfall was 1.2 inches below normal.

So, the difference in rainfall between June and July is 2.3 - (-1.2) = 2.3 + 1.2 = 3.5 inches.

Therefore, the difference in rainfall between June and July is 3.5 inches.
