All we need to do is to divide August and September rainfall measurements into two equal halves and then substract 0.6 from one of them and add 0.6 to the other one.
6.2 ÷ 2 = 3.1
3.1 - 0.6 = 2.5
3.1 + 0.6 = 3.7
It's said that in August there was 0.6 inch more rainfall, so the bigger value (3.7 inches) is for August and the smaller value (2.5 inches) is for September.
|4r + 8| ≥ 32
Split this expression into two expressions:
First ⇒ 4r + 8 ≥ 32 and second ⇒ 4r + 8 ≤ - 32
---
First expression: 4r + 8 ≥ 32
Subtract 8 from both sides.
4r ≥ 24
Divide both sides by 4.
r ≥ 6
---
Second expression: 4r + 8 ≤ - 32
Subtract 8 from both sides.
4r ≤ -40
Divide both sides by 4.
r ≤ -10

Your answer is 
Well, you could easily type that into a calculator, but the answer would be 0.04347826, but when you say it as an answer you say the answer up to the hundredths place, which would be 0.043. =)
I think it's answer choice a
