Answer:
It will take 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this be going "backwards".
You have 2.5 inches of snow falling per hour for x hours until you get 8 inches of snow, which can be represented like this:
2.5x=8 From here you being to solve by isolating x on one side of the equation. You would divide both sides by 2.5 to do this
2.5x=8
/2.5 /2.5
8 divided by 2.5 is 3.2 and you then get
x=3.2
It takes 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall
