Explanation:

Step1: Solve question 12

Look at the table for January, February and March precipitation values.
January: 2.27 inches, February: 2.67 inches, March: 2.84 inches.
Total = 2.27+2.67+2.84
$=2.27+(2.67 + 2.84)$
$=2.27 + 5.51$
$= 7.78$ inches

Step2: Solve question 13

Find the highest and lowest precipitation values from the table.
Highest value is 5.5 inches (June), lowest value is 1.8 inches (April).
Difference = 5.5 - 1.8
$=3.7$ inches
Average of highest and lowest = $\frac{5.5 + 1.8}{2}$
$=\frac{7.3}{2}$
$=3.65$ inches

Answer:

1. 7.78 inches
2. Highest - 5.5 inches (June), Lowest - 1.8 inches (April), Difference - 3.7 inches, Average - 3.65 inches
