Question

One day it snowed 3 and 3/8 inches in Altoona and 3.45 inches in Bethlehem. Which city received less snow that day?

Answer 1

Answer: Altoona.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that in that day it snowed  $3\ \frac{3}{8}\ inches$ in Altoona.

Given this measurement as a mixed number, you need to convert it to a decimal number. Then:

$3\ \frac{3}{8}\ inches=(3+ \frac{3}{8})\ inches=(3+0.375)\ inches=3.375\ inches$

It that day it snowed  $3.45\ inches$ in Bethlehem.

Then, you can notice that:

$3.375\ inches$

Therefore, you can conclude that the city that received less snow that day was: Altoona.
