Answer: 1.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
"The amount of rain that fell over two days" means the sum of the two amounts of rain that fell on Saturday and Sunday.
[tex]1\frac{1}{16} +0.4=1\frac{10}{160} + \frac{4}{10} = 1\frac{10}{160} + \frac{64}{160} = 1\frac{74}{160}[/tex]
This number is close to [tex]1\frac{80}{160}[/tex], which is 1.5 inches.
