Q. At the Richmond Ski Resort, it snowed 78\frac{7}{8} of a foot yesterday and 38\frac{3}{8} of a foot today. How much more did it snow yesterday than today?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline_____ feet
  1. Identify Snow Amounts: Step 11: Identify the amounts of snow from yesterday and today.\newlineYesterday: 78\frac{7}{8} foot, Today: 38\frac{3}{8} foot.\newlineCalculate the difference between the two days.\newline78−38=48\frac{7}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{4}{8}
  2. Calculate Difference: Step 22: Simplify the fraction obtained from Step 11.\newline48\frac{4}{8} can be reduced to 12\frac{1}{2} by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 44.\newline12\frac{1}{2} foot is the simplified result
