Answer: 4/5 meters more snow is needed to reach a total of 3 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how much more snow is needed to reach a total of 3 meters, we first need to calculate the total amount of snow that has already fallen.
1. Last week, it snowed 1 3/5 meters, which is the same as 8/5 meters.
2. This week, it snowed 3/5 of a meter.
To calculate the total snowfall:
- Add the snowfall from last week (8/5 meters) to the snowfall from this week (3/5 meters):
8/5 + 3/5 = 11/5 meters
Now, to determine how much more snow is needed to reach a total of 3 meters:
- Subtract the total snowfall so far (11/5 meters) from the desired total of 3 meters:
3 - 11/5 = 15/5 - 11/5 = 4/5 meters
Therefore, 4/5 meters more snow is needed to reach a total of 3 meters.
Answer:
[tex] \dfrac{4}{5} [/tex] meters
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how much more snow is needed to reach a total of 3 meters, we can add the snowfall from last week and this week and then subtract that total from 3 meters.
- Last week's snowfall: [tex]1 \dfrac{3}{5}[/tex] meters
- This week's snowfall: [tex] \dfrac{3}{5} [/tex] meters
Total snowfall so far: [tex]1 \dfrac{3}{5} + \dfrac{3}{5} [/tex]
To convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
[tex] 1 \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{(1 \times 5) + 3}{5} = \dfrac{8}{5} [/tex]
Now, add the two snowfalls:
[tex] \dfrac{8}{5} + \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{11}{5} [/tex]
Now, subtract the total snowfall from 3 meters to find how much more is needed:
[tex] 3 - \dfrac{11}{5} [/tex]
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 5 in this case:
[tex] \dfrac{15}{5} - \dfrac{11}{5} = \dfrac{15-11}{5}= \dfrac{4}{5} [/tex]
So, there is [tex] \dfrac{4}{5} [/tex] meters more snow needed to reach a total of 3 meters.
