Total snow fall for three days is 8.75 inches

Solution:

Given that,

Snow fell over the past three days


First\ day = 3(2)/(4)\ inches = (14)/(4)\ inches\\\\Second\ day = 3(2)/(4)\ inches = (14)/(4)\ inches\\\\Third\ day = 1(3)/(4)\ inches = (7)/(4)\ inches

What was the total snowfall for the three days?

Total snowfall = first day + second day + third day


Total\ snowfall = (14)/(4) + (14)/(4) + (7)/(4)\\\\Total\ snowfall = (14 + 14 + 7)/(4)\\\\Total\ snowfall = (35)/(4) \text{ or } 8.75\ inches

Thus total snow fall for three days is 8.75 inches
