Answer:

Wednesday

Step-by-step explanation:

On Monday it rained three-tenths of an inch that is [tex]\dfrac{3}{10}=0.3\ in.[/tex]

On Tuesday it rained thirty-one hundredths of an inch that is [tex]\dfrac{31}{100}=0.31\ in.[/tex]

On Wednesday it rained six tenths of an inch that is [tex]\dfrac{6}{10}=0.6\ in.[/tex]

Now you can compare these decimals. The digit before point is 0 in all three fractions. The first digit after point is 3 in first and second decimal and 6 in third decimal. Since 6 > 3, then 0.6 > 0.3 and 0.6 > 0.31. Thus, the greatest amount of rain was on Wednesday.
