Q. A meteorologist recorded the rainfall in Westminster in two consecutive months. In the first month, there was 11 inch of rain. In the second month, there was 2232\frac{2}{3} inches of rain. What was the total amount of rainfall during the two months?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline___\_\_\_ inches
  1. Record Rainfall: Record the rainfall from the first month.\newlineRainfall in the first month = 11 inch.
  2. Convert to Improper Fraction: Convert the rainfall from the second month to an improper fraction for easier addition.\newlineRainfall in the second month = 2232 \frac{2}{3} inches = (2×3+2)/3=83(2 \times 3 + 2)/3 = \frac{8}{3} inches.
  3. Add Total Rainfall: Add the rainfall from the two months.\newlineTotal rainfall = 11 inch + 83\frac{8}{3} inches = (33+83)(\frac{3}{3} + \frac{8}{3}) inches = 113\frac{11}{3} inches.
