To find out how many inches of snow fell each hour, you can divide the total amount of snow by the number of hours the snowstorm lasted.
Given:
- Total snow = 13.2 inches
- Duration of storm = 5.5 hours
The calculation is as follows:
\[
\text{Inches of snow per hour} = \frac{\text{Total snow}}{\text{Duration of storm}} = \frac{13.2 \text{ inches}}{5.5 \text{ hours}}
\]
Now, let's perform the division:
\[
\frac{13.2}{5.5} \approx 2.4
\]
Thus, the amount of snow that fell each hour is approximately **2.4 inches**.
