An inch is a unit of distance, not a specific amount. Therefore, 3 inches is always equal to 3 inches.
1/2 an inch an hour
2 inch/hour divided by 60 mins/hr = 1/30 inch per minute 1/30 times x minutes = rainfall in x minutes = x/30
"A ton" can be taken in opinion. In some parts of the world, 1 inch would be thought of as a ton due to lack of rain in that area. In other areas, 80 inches could be though of as a ton, while 60 is not. This is up to opinion.

It can vary a lot - a common figure would be about half an inch of rain, but you could have an inch of water with very wet snow.

The fluffiness of the snow can vary how deep it is compared to an inch of rain. On average, however, ten inches of snow is an inch of rain, so .04 inches of rain is similar to .4 inches of snow.
An inch is a unit of distance, not a specific amount. Therefore, 3 inches is always equal to 3 inches.
This will depend on how cold it is, but on average 10 inches of snow = 1 inch of rain, so 0.15 inches of rain = 1.5 inches of snow. It could be less than in inch of wet snow, or more than 2 inches of powder, however.
1/2 an inch an hour
It varies a lot just like it does in other places. Along the coast you might get only 4 inches of snow out of an inch of water. In many other places where it's much colder, you can easily get 20 inches out of that same inch of water.
less than 10 inches
A unit of precipitation is usually an inch. Both snow and rain are measured in inches. Rain is also measured in fractions of inches.
The idea is to divide the number of inches of rain by the number of hours. That will give you the unit rain, in inches per hour.
