Weather Watchers: Rainfall in Mixed Numbers

Add and subtract mixed numbers to track rain at the school weather station.

Part A: Adding up the rain

Read each weather report. Write each answer as a mixed number or a whole number.

1.
On Monday the class rain gauge caught 1 1/4 inches of rain. On Tuesday it caught 2 2/4 inches. How much rain fell in the two days?

1 1/4 + 2 2/4 =   inches

2.
Diego's gauge at home caught 2 3/8 inches in the morning and 1 4/8 inches in the afternoon. How much rain did it catch that day?

2 3/8 + 1 4/8 =   inches

It rained 1 3/4 inches on Wednesday and 1 3/4 inches on Thursday. How much rain fell on those two days?
