Q. Hunter, a meteorologist, keeps track of the amount of rain each year relative to the amount of rain in 1900. Two years of data are shown in the table below.Year Amount of rain relative to 1900 (in cm)1945−19194636Drag the white cards onto the gray rectangle to write an inequality that correctly compares the relative amounts of rain.−19<36Which one of the following descriptions is correct? Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A) There was less rain in 1946 than in 1945.A There was less rain in 1946 than in 1945.(Choice B) There was less rain in 1945 than in 1946.B There was less rain in 1945 than in 1946.
Identify Rain Amounts: Identify the relative amounts of rain in 1945 and 1946. 1945: −19 cm 1946: 36 cm
Write Inequality: Write the inequality comparing the two amounts. -19 < 36
Interpret Inequality: Interpret the inequality. Since −19 is less than 36, there was less rain in 1945 than in 1946.
Choose Description: Choose the correct description. Choice B: There was less rain in 1945 than in 1946.
