Answer: Kukui (Hawaii) has the greater average rainfall than Melchior (Antarctic Peninsula) by 8,099.2 millimetres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The average rainfall amounts for two of the world's wettest places:

Kukui (Hawaii): 9,293 millimetres              

Melchior (Antarctic Peninsula): 47 inches

Since 1 inch = 25.4 millimetres

∴ 47 inches = 47 × 25.4 millimetres

= 1193.8 millimetres

i.e. Melchior (Antarctic Peninsula) has 1193.8 millimetres of average rainfall.

Clearly,  9,293 millimetres> 1193.8 millimetres

So, Kukui (Hawaii) has the greater average rainfall .

Difference = 9293 - 1193.8 = 8099.2 millimetres

So Kukui (Hawaii) has the greater average rainfall than Melchior (Antarctic Peninsula) by 8,099.2 millimetres.
