Answer:
4 1/8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
You apparently want to find the sum (in inches) ...
5.5 + (1 3/4) - (3 1/8)
This can be done a number of ways. One is to use an appropriate calculator.
__
Another way to do this is to add the integer parts and fraction parts separately:
= (5 +1 -3) +(1/2 +3/4 -1/8)
= 3 + (4/8 +6/8 -1/8) = 3 + (4+6-1)/8 = 3 9/8
= 4 1/8
__
Another way is to convert all the numbers to decimal, then add.
= 5.500 +1.750 -3.125
= 7.250 -3.125
= 4.125 = 4 1/8
__
There were 4 1/8 inches of snow remaining Tuesday evening.
