Answer:

3 2/3 inches of snow

Explanation:

Your denominator is 3. Use the denominator to see how many times it goes into the numerator.

Knowing 3*3 = 9, then 3 goes into 11 three times

subtract 9 from 11 : 11 - 9 = 2

You are given a remainder of 2

Your whole number is three, and because you have 2 remaining from the 11, the 2 becomes 2/3

Answer: 3 2/3 inches of snow

Hope this helps!
