Answer:
The mean hourly snowfall is 2.5 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean hourly snowfall is the number of centimeters that fell during the period divided by the number of hours.
From 5 P.M. to 9 P.M., there are 4 hours
At 5 P.M., the total snowfall is 2 centimeters.
At 9 P.M., the total snowfall is 12 centimeters.
So in those four hours, the depth of snow increases 12-2 = 10 centimeters
10/4 = 2.5
The mean hourly snowfall is 2.5 centimeters
