Q. Short Anuwer: REMEMBER YOUR FINAL STATEMENT\newline88. Last Wednesday it snowed 313 cm 3 \frac{1}{3} \mathrm{~cm} . On Sunday it snowed 215 cm 2 \frac{1}{5} \mathrm{~cm} . On which day did it anow more? By how many centimetres?
  1. Convert to Improper Fractions: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier comparison; 3(13)cm3\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\text{cm} becomes 103cm\frac{10}{3}\text{cm} and 2(15)cm2\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)\text{cm} becomes 115cm\frac{11}{5}\text{cm}.
  2. Find Common Denominator: Compare the two improper fractions by finding a common denominator, which is 1515. So, (103)×(55)=5015(\frac{10}{3}) \times (\frac{5}{5}) = \frac{50}{15} cm and (115)×(33)=3315(\frac{11}{5}) \times (\frac{3}{3}) = \frac{33}{15} cm.
  3. Compare Fractions: Now that they have a common denominator, compare the numerators: 5015\frac{50}{15} cm is greater than 3315\frac{33}{15} cm.
  4. Calculate Difference: Calculate the difference between the two snowfalls: 5015 cm3315 cm=1715 cm.\frac{50}{15} \text{ cm} - \frac{33}{15} \text{ cm} = \frac{17}{15} \text{ cm}.
  5. Convert to Mixed Number: Convert the difference back to a mixed number for easier understanding: 1715\frac{17}{15} cm is 1(215)1\left(\frac{2}{15}\right) cm.
