Answer 1

Answer:

A. 9.85 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph we can see that 1 month has a rainfall of 0.4 in, 2 months have a rainfall of 0.5 in, 1 month has a rainfall of 0.6 in, 2 months have a rainfall of 0.85 in, 1 month has a rainfall of 0.95 in, 2 months have a rainfall of 1.0 in, 2 months have a rainfall of 1.05 in and 1 month has a rainfall of  1.1 in.

The total amount of rainfall in the desert that year was: 0.4 + 2*0.5 + 0.6 + 2*0.85 + 0.95 + 2*1.0 + 2*1.05 + 1.1 = 9.85 inches
