    Answer:

    0.44ft/hr

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given parameters:

    Quantity of rainfall  = 8inches

                1ft  = 12inches

       so;

                \frac{8}{12}   = 0.67ft

    Time  = \frac{3}{2}hr

    Unknown:

    Rate of rainfall expressed in ft/hr  = ?

    Solution:

    The rate of the rainfall is given as;

        Rate  = \frac{Quantity}{time}  

      Rate  = \frac{0.67ft}{\frac{3}{2} }    = 0.44ft/hr
