3. enVision* STEM There are 61 days in March and April. Mrs, Dorsey record 18 sunny days in March and 12 sunny days in April. How many days were not sunny?

In March and April, there are indeed 61 days combined! With Mrs. Dorsey noting 18 sunny days in March and 12 sunny days in April, that brings us to a total of 30 sunny days. To find out how many days were not sunny, we subtract the number of sunny days from the total days: 61 days - 30 sunny days = 31 not sunny days. So, there were 31 days that were not sunny during those months! If you’re ever in doubt about how to tackle similar word problems, a helpful strategy is to break down the information step-by-step. First, write down the total days, then count each category of weather (in this case, sunny days). It’s easy to mix things up if you don’t stay organized, so keep your work neat and refer back to your notes as needed!
