Answer 1

The answer is 8 13/15 so yeah hope this helps a lot

Answer 2

Explanation:

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The smallest common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.

Converting 2/3 to fifteenths:

2/3 = 10/15

Converting 1/5 to fifteenths:

1/5 = 3/15

Now, we can add:

5 10/15 + 3 3/15 = 8 13/15

Therefore, the amount of snowfall in the two months combined was 8 13/15 feet.
