At the start of the day, the rain barrel at Bella Terra Farms held 695 gallons of water. They used 58 gallons to water the herb garden in the morning. In the afternoon, they used another 213 gallons to water the vegetable garden. How much water was left in the rain barrel after they watered the vegetable garden?

After using 58 gallons in the morning and 213 gallons in the afternoon, there were 424 gallons remaining in the rain barrel. The calculations involved subtracting the used amounts from the initial 695 gallons. Therefore, the total left after watering both gardens is 424 gallons.

Let's solve the problem step by step:

Starting water in the rain barrel:
695 gallons

Morning use (herb garden):

58 gallons

695 - 58 = 637 \text{ gallons left after morning}

Afternoon use (vegetable garden):

213 gallons

637 - 213 = 424 \text{ gallons left after afternoon}
