Andre sets up a rain gauge to measure rainfall in his backyard. On Tuesday, it rains off and on all day.

• He starts at 10 a.m. with an empty gauge when it starts to rain.
• Two hours later, he checks, and the gauge has 2 cm of water in it.
• It starts raining even harder, and at 4 p.m., the rain stops, so Andre checks the rain gauge and finds it has 10 cm of water in it.
• While checking it, he accidentally knocks the rain gauge over and spills most of the water, leaving only 3 cm of water in the rain gauge.
• When he checks for the last time at 5 p.m., there is no change.

Graph A

Line graph, horizontal axis labeled 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Vertical, 0 to 12 by 2. Segments, 10 comma 0 to 12 comma 2, then to 4 comma 10, closed circles. An open circle at 4 comma 3 connects to a closed circle at 5 comma 3.

Graph B

1. Which of the two graphs could represent Andre’s story? Explain your reasoning.
2. Label the axes of the correct graph with appropriate units.
3. Use the graph to determine how much total rain fell on Tuesday.
