The graph below represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month. Which of the following is the total rainfall for the months May, June, and July?
A. 9.0 inches
B. 8.4 inches
C. 7.5 inches
D. 10.5 inches
: We need to find the total rainfall for the months of May, June, and July using the given graph.
In the month of May, rainfall is between 3 and 4, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in May is 3.5 inches
On June, rainfall was 3 inch and on July the rainfall was 2.5 inches. Thus,
Total rainfall=3.5 inches+3 inches+ 2.5 inches=9.0 inches
Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

Q #3: A student performs the following estimations. 35+192 230 258+350 610 947+1032 1980 Based on these estimations, which of the following is the student’s estimate of 694+7618?
A. 8320
B. 8500
C. 8300
D. 8310
Answer Explanation
Here we need to find the actual values of the additions and see the trend the student will use to estimate the given problem. The exact sum is as follows
35+192=227
258+350=608
947+1032=1979
From the above calculations, it is evident that the student rounds up or down the ones place values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 694+7618.
694+7618=8312
We can approximate 8312 based on the provided choices is 8310.
