Final answer:

The total rainfall for June was 60 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total rainfall for June, we need to convert all the measurements to the same unit. Since 1 centimeter (cm) is equal to 10 millimeters (mm), we can convert the amounts to either cm or mm. Let's convert them all to millimeters.

The rainfall amounts recorded in June were 5 mm, 9 mm, 2 cm (which is 20 mm), and 2.6 cm (which is 26 mm). To find the total rainfall, we add these amounts together:

Total rainfall = 5 mm + 9 mm + 20 mm + 26 mm

Total rainfall = 60 mm

Therefore, the total rainfall for June was 60 millimeters.

Hello there

The correct answer in mm would be 60 mm

1 cm = 10 mm

So it would 5+9+20+26 = 60

In cm it would be 6 cm

10 mm = 1 cm

.5+.9+2+2.6 = 6

I hope this helped ^^
