Answer:

The unit of measure is most likely in hundreds of gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charges for water consumption in a home are recorded with a water meter.

Last  month, the meter read "879," and this month the meter read "932".

Therefore, the number of units of usage is (932 - 879) = 53 units.

The daily average consumption of water per household is about 300 gallons.

Hence, the unit of measure is most likely in hundreds of gallons. (Answer)
