In the graph above, which represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month, what is the total rainfall for the first 3 months of the year?

Rationale

A) 3 1/2 inches is the total rainfall for the first three months of the year.

In the graph provided, the total rainfall for the first 3 months can be calculated by adding the rainfall amounts for each of the first three months. This sum comes out to be 3 1/2 inches.

B (2 inches) YOUR ANSWER

This option might have been reached by misreading the graph and perhaps only considering two months instead of three. However, the question clearly asks for the total rainfall of the first three months, and adding those amounts gives a total of 3 1/2 inches, not 2 inches.

C (4 inches) YOUR ANSWER

This choice could be a result of an overestimation or miscalculation of the values provided in the graph. While it is nearby the correct answer, it is not the precise sum of the rainfall for the first three months according to the graph.

D (1 1/2 inches) YOUR ANSWER

This option might have been chosen by mistakenly considering just one month's rainfall or incorrectly adding up the three month's rainfall. The graph clearly shows that the total rainfall for the first three months is more than this amount.

Conclusion

After carefully examining the graph and adding up the rainfall for January, February, and March, the total rainfall for the first three months of the year is 3 1/2 inches. Other options may result from misreading the graph or miscalculations, but they do not represent the accurate total derived from the graph.

In the graph above, which represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month, what is the total rainfall for the first 3 months of the year?

A) 3 1/2 inches is the total rainfall for the first three months of the year.
