Answer:

1 1/5 inches

Explanation:

It should come as no surprise that the sum of 1 and 1/5 can be written as the mixed number 1 1/5.

Recognizing that 1 = 5/5, the sum of 1 and 1/5 can also be written as the improper fraction ...

1 1/5 = 5/5 +1/5 = (5+1)/5 = 6/5

The total snowfall was 1 1/5 or 6/5 inches.
