Q. At the Sullivan Ski Resort, it snowed 45\frac{4}{5} of a foot yesterday and 710\frac{7}{10} 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 on each day and set up the subtraction problem.\newlineYesterday it snowed 45\frac{4}{5} of a foot, and today it snowed 710\frac{7}{10} of a foot. To find out how much more it snowed yesterday than today, subtract today's snowfall from yesterday's.\newlineCalculation: 45−710\frac{4}{5} - \frac{7}{10}
  2. Find Common Denominator: Step 22: Find a common denominator for the fractions.\newlineThe denominators are 55 and 1010. The least common denominator is 1010.\newlineConvert 45\frac{4}{5} to a fraction with denominator 1010.\newlineCalculation: 45=(4×2)(5×2)=810\frac{4}{5} = \frac{(4\times2)}{(5\times2)} = \frac{8}{10}
  3. Perform Subtraction: Step 33: Perform the subtraction using the common denominator.\newlineNow subtract 710\frac{7}{10} from 810\frac{8}{10}.\newlineCalculation: 810−710=110\frac{8}{10} - \frac{7}{10} = \frac{1}{10}
