"In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities."

In my weather app it is now possible to show precipitation in INCH.
In metric system percipitation is measured in mm what is Litres per m² canceled the fraction in the correct manner.
What is precipitation in INCH it is sensible just to divide the INCH measure by 25.4
So what Volume is divided by which Area in this measurement? -
