This morning Gwen found that the snow on the sidewalk was 5 and 3/8 inches deep. At lunch the snow was 2 and 7/8 inches deep at the same place. How many inches of snow had melted? Use numberline to show work

Answer:

2.75

step-by-step explanation:

5 and 3/8 inches = 5 + 3/8 =  5 + 0.625 = 5.625

2 and 7/8 inches =  2 + 7/8 = 2 + 0.875 = 2.875

the inches that snow melted: 5.625 - 2.875 = 2.750
