Answer:
recurrence interval of this storm = 1.125 inches / hr
Explanation:
given data
total span of storm = 4 hr
total rainfall = 4.50 inches
to find out
recurrence interval of this storm
solution
we know that recurrence interval of this storm is express as
recurrence interval of this storm = [tex]\frac{R}{t}[/tex] ............1
here R is total rainfall and t is time for rainfall
put here both value in equation 1 we get recurrence interval of this storm
recurrence interval of this storm = [tex]\frac{R}{t}[/tex]
recurrence interval of this storm = [tex]\frac{4.5}{4}[/tex]
recurrence interval of this storm = 1.125 inches / hr
