Use the conversion equivalency of 2.54 centimeters (cm) = 1 inch. Locations Annual Rainfall (in inches) Annual Rainfall (in centimeters) Mawsynram, India 467 Tutenendo, Columbia 463.5 Mt. Waialeale, Hawaii 410 a. 1186.18 cm, 1177.29 cm, 1041.4 cm b. 183.86 cm, 182.48 cm, 161.4 cm c. 1006 cm, 946 cm, 997.1 cm d. 854.86 cm, 931.55 cm, 812.9 cm

Answer 1

Option A is correct.

Explanation:

We are given with conversion equation of inch and centimeter.

1 inch = 2.54 centimeter (cm)

Annual Rainfall of Mawsynram, India in inches = 467 inches

Annual Rainfall of Tutenendo, Columbia in inches = 463.5 inches

Annual Rainfall of Mt. Waialeale, Hawaii in inches = 410 inches

Annual Rainfall of Mawsynram, India in cm = 467 × 2.54 = 1186.18 cm

Annual Rainfall of Tutenendo, Columbia in cm = 463.5 × 2.54 = 1177.29 cm

Annual Rainfall of Mt. Waialeale, Hawaii in cm = 410 × 2.54 = 1041.4 cm

Therefore, Option A is correct.
