A town received a large amount of rainfall.

Which units would be most appropriate to describe the rainfall in the town?

Select each correct answer.

in/h <<my choice
g/cm
cm/h <<my choice
g/mm

Yes, you're right.

Either, yes.

To determine the appropriate units for describing rainfall, we need to consider the quantity being measured and the commonly used units for that measurement. In the case of rainfall, the quantity being measured is typically the depth or amount of rain over a given area or time.

The first option, "in/h" (inches per hour), is a commonly used unit for measuring rainfall. It represents the depth of rain in inches that falls in one hour.

The second option, "g/cm" (grams per centimeter), is not a commonly used unit for measuring rainfall. It is more commonly used for measuring the density or mass of substances. Therefore, it would not be appropriate for describing rainfall.

The third option, "cm/h" (centimeters per hour), is another commonly used unit for measuring rainfall. It represents the depth of rain in centimeters that falls in one hour.

The fourth option, "g/mm" (grams per millimeter), is also not a commonly used unit for measuring rainfall. Similar to "g/cm," it is more commonly used for measuring density or mass.

Based on the commonly used units for measuring rainfall, the most appropriate units to describe the rainfall in the town would be "in/h" and "cm/h".
