Answer:

D. 2.57 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

0.8 feet = 9.6 inches

1.25 + 0.65 + 3x = 9.6

1.9 + 3x = 9.6

3x = 7.7

x = ~2.57

2.57 + 2.57 + 2.57 + 0.65 + 1.25 = 9.61

Answer:

To find the amount of rain that fell on each of the first three days of April, we first need to convert the total rainfall for the first week from feet to inches. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we'll multiply the total rainfall in feet by 12.

After converting the total rainfall for the week to inches, we will subtract the rainfall amounts from April 6th and April 7th to find the total rainfall from April 1st to April 3rd. Since it rained the same amount each of these three days, we'll divide this total by 3 to find the daily rainfall for these days.

Let's perform these calculations.

The amount of rain that fell on each of the first three days of April was approximately 2.57 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is:

D. 2.57 inches.
