Lukas · Answer 1

The second beach has a higher chance of being dry.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the first beach, it rained 5 out of 30 days. 5 over 30 is 1/6. 10% which is the second beach's rain rate is equivalent to 1/10. since 1/6 is greater than 1/10, the second beach will have a lower rain rate.
