Question

In October, the amount of snowfall was 1/4 feet. in December, the snowfall was 4 1/2 feet. What was the amount of snowfall in the two months combined.

Answer 1

Answer:

$4\frac{3}{4}$ feet of snowfall

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert $4\frac{1}{2}$ to a improper fraction,

≈ $\frac{9}{2}$

$\frac{9}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$

Find a common denominator (in this case lets do 4)

$\frac{9}{2} * 2 = \frac{18}{4}$

Then add

$\frac{18}{4} +\frac{1}{4} = \frac{19}{4}$

Then simplify

$\frac{19}{4} = 4\frac{3}{4}$

And we found our answer,

$4\frac{3}{4}$ feet of snowfall in the two months combined

Answer 2

Answer:

4 3/4ft in fractions. 4ft 8in in inches. 4.75ft in decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/2 + 1/4 = 4 2/4 + 1/4 = 4 3/4.

4 3/4 can also be written as 4.75 or, as we are talking about feet and inches, 4ft 8.
