Question

The line graph above shows the monthly rainfall from March to October

last year in Chestnut City. According to the graph, what was the greatest
change (in absolute value) in the monthly rainfall between two consecutive
months?
A) 1.5 inches
B) 2.0 inches
C) 2.5 inches
D) 3.5 inches

Answer 1

Option C

2.5 inches

Explanation:

From the graph, it is evident that the steepest part of the graph is the last part, between the months of September and October. The value for September is 5 while that for October is 2.5. Getting the difference of the two, we obtain that 5-2.5=2.5

This is the highest change in monthly rainfall between two consecutive months
