Question

In February of 2006, there was a

record snowfall of 26.9 inches in one
day in New York City. The normal
snowfall for the month of February in
New York City is 8.5 inches and March
is 5.1 inches. How much more snow
fell in the one day storm in 2006 than
normally falls in February and March
combined

Answer 1

Answer: 13.3 more inches of snow fell in one day storm than normally falls in February and March combined.

February and March combined: 8.5+5.1 = 13.6

Since the question asked how much more, that means you subtract:

26.9 - 13.6 = 13.3

hope this helped =)

Answer 2

40.5 inches

Explanation:

I’m not sure if this is correct or not but my thinking is that you just add 26.9, 8.5, and 5.1 together since it says “How much more snow fell in the one day storm in 2006 than normal falls in February and March combined?” And combined basically means all together.
