Answer:

3 inches per month.

Explanation:

It is given that total Reading of the Rainfall is 34.56 inches.

and we know that 1 year =12 months

so for calculating the average rainfall per month, we will divide the total reading of the year by 12 months

so,

average rainfall per month
=(34.56)/(12)=2.88.

but it is asking for the best estimate so we will add 1 to 2 since after decimal 8 is there which is greater than 5.

so the best estimate of the average rainfall per month will be 3 inches.
