Answer 2

Answer:

They are all continuous!

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete refers to things you can count. Usually counting numbers of living things: cats, people, fish, insects, etc.

In a continuous relationship, you can have 1/2 inch of hair, you can have 3.24 billion gallons of water, you can have 6000 tons of trash. It's usually describing nonliving things: water, trash, paper, etc.

Hope that helps.
