Question

Ater a blizzard the amount of snow on the ground melted by 3 inches one day and then another 8 inches the next day. Write an expression that represents the total change in the amount of snow on the ground over the two days.

Answer 1

Answer:

11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the level of ground level be g

On first day, amount of snow melted by 3 inches

So, level of ground melted= (g- 3) inches

Next day, amount of snow melted by 8 inches

So, level of ground level melted = (g- 3-8 )inches

Hence, total change in the ground level = ( g- 11) inches

Hence, amount of snow on ground level melted by 11 inches

Hence, the correct answer is 11 inches
