    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
