Question

Carlo wants to use a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers. Which rate is appropriate for describing the amount of water in this context?

Meters per second
Millimeters per hour
Grams per second
Miles per hour

Answer 1

Millimeters per hour

Explanation:

Answer 2

Millimeters per hour.

Explanation:

Since its a water sprinkler, you would know that it doesn't cover miles of land, nor is it a food, so it isn't grams. Meters would seem like the right answer, but if you calculate meters to millimeters, you would see that meters are not covered in seconds. So the correct answer is millimeters per hour.
