you should use the ratio so
2/ 4 = 6.5 / n
n= 6.5 x 4 / 2 = 13 inches
2- for two hours ------> four inches of snow
for x hours -----> y inches of snow
the equation is
2/4 = x/ y
x= 2y / 4
for x is the hours and y is the inches
exercice 2
5 gr granula ----------------------> 1750 calories

by cross multiplication
n = 2 x1750 / 5 = 700 calories .
