In Belmont it snowed 1 inch in the morning and 1/5 of an inch in the afternoon. What was the total amount of snowfall ?

9514 1404 393
Answer:
1 1/5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
It should come as no surprise that the sum of 1 and 1/5 can be written as the mixed number 1 1/5.
Recognizing that 1 = 5/5, the sum of 1 and 1/5 can also be written as the improper fraction ...
1 1/5 = 5/5 +1/5 = (5+1)/5 = 6/5
The total snowfall was 1 1/5 or 6/5 inches.
