Question

A snowstorm dropped three and two-fifths inches of snow. The next day one and four-fifths inches melted, how much snow was left?

Answer 1

Answer:

After the melting there were one and three fifths of snow left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a snowstorm dropped three and two-fifths inches of snow, and the next day one and four-fifths inches melted, the following calculation must be performed to determine how much snow was left:

2/5 = 0.40

4/5 = 0.80

3.40 - 1.80 = X

1.60 = X

0.60 = 3/5

Thus, after the melting there were one and three fifths of snow left.
