During the first hour of a snowstorm, 1 2/8 inches of snow fell. In the next hour, 4 3/8 inches fell. In the third hour, the snow stopped and 1 inch of snow melted. How much snow was on the ground at the end of the third hour?

4 5/8 inches left

Step-by-step explanation:

1+4=5

2/8+3/8=5/8  Same denominator so it stays the same, only need to add the numerators.

5+5/8=5 5/8

5 5/8-1=4 5/8

Here is the improper fraction if you need it:

37/8

m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.
