Answer:

[tex]\frac{27}{200}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Dritown received 0.135 inches of rain in the spring of 2011.

Convert 0.135 in fraction form

[tex]\frac{0.135 \cdot 1000}{1000} =\frac{135}{1000}[/tex]

Divide both top and bottom by 5

[tex]\frac{135}{1000}[/tex] becomes [tex]\frac{27}{200}[/tex]
