1. **State the problem:** We have rainfall amounts recorded at different locations with dots representing the number of locations receiving certain inches of rain. The dots are plotted at: - 0.5 inches: 2 dots - 2 inches: 1 dot - 2.5 inches: 1 dot - 3.5 inches: 1 dot 2. **Interpret the plot:** Each dot represents one location. The location with the most rain corresponds to the highest rainfall value with at least one dot. 3. **Identify the location with the most rain:** The highest rainfall value with a dot is at 3.5 inches (3 and one-half inches). 4. **Answer:** The location A received as much rain as the location with the most rain, so it received **3.5 inches** of rain. Therefore, the amount of rain that fell at location A is: $$3.5$$ inches.
