Answer:

There would have been 0.6166 inches of rainfall in 1 hour.

Explanation:

In a certain​ city, the record rainfall during an 24​-hour period is 14 and 4/5 inches.

14 and 4/5 inches = 14.8 inches.

So, we have that in 24 hours, 14.8 inches of rainfall is recorded.

So, per hour rainfall will be =
(14.8)/(24)= 0.6166 inches

Hence, there would have been 0.6166 inches of rainfall in 1 hour.
