Table: Monthly rainfall in a town, in millimetres — June 250, July 400, August 500, September 350. August rainfall is how many times June rainfall?
Correct answer: B. 2 times
August ÷ June = 500 ÷ 250 = 2, so August had twice as much rain as June. "How many times" calls for division, while "how much more" calls for subtraction (500 − 250 = 250 mm).
