    =58.464 kg/hr

    width = 21.0 feet

    length = 20.0 feet

    snowflake mass=1.60 milligrams

    1 foot^2=1450 snowflakes per minute

    area of lawn=length*width

    area = (21.0) (20.0)

    area=420 feet^2

    1450 snowflakes at 1.60 milligrams per snowflake:

    (1.60) (1450) = 2320 milligrams

    2320 milligrams to kilograms:

    = (2320 mg) (1 gram/1000 mg) (1 kilogram/1000 grams)

    = (2320) (1/1000) (1/1000)

    = (2.32) (1/1000)

    =0.00232 kg per minute

    0.00232 kg per minute to kg per hour:

    = (0.00232 kg/1 minute) (60 minutes/1 hour)

    = (0.00232) (60)

    =0.1392 kg per hour per square foot

    For the total lawn's accumulation in kilograms per hour, multiply by area:

    = (0.1392 (kg/hr) per 1 foot^2) (420 feet^2)

    =58.464 kilograms of snow accumulate on the lawn per hour
