Answer:

11/5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

total snowfall for the day = snowfall in morning + snowfall in evening

= 8 over 5 + 3 over 5 (all in inches)

= 8/5 + 3/5 (all in inches)

Since the denominators are the same (5), we can simply add the numerators up while keeping the denominator

(8/5 + 3/5) inches= (8+3)/5 inches = 11/5 inches = total snowfall for the day
