Answer:

The town received approximately 44.29 inches of rain during a 31−day month.

Explanation:

Given;

The amount of rain for two weeks = 20 inches.

For finding amount of rain for 31 days, we use the unitary method.

∵ Amount of rain for 14 days =
$20\ inches$

∴ Amount of rain for 1 day =
$(20\ inches)/(14)$

∴ Amount of rain for 31 day =
$(20\ inches)/(14)*31=(620)/(14)\ in=44.285\approx 44.29\ in$

Hence the amount of rain the town received is 44.29 inches approximately.
