    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
