Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of a foot more snowed yesterday than today.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Occurring of snow yesterday = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of a foot.
Occurring of snow today = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of a foot.
Now, in order to determine how much more it snowed yesterday than today, we need to find the difference between the two days.
Therefore, the difference of snow occurrence between yesterday and today is given as:
Difference = Yesterday snow length - Today snow length
Difference = [tex]\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Making the denominator same, we multiply numerator and denominator of second fraction by 2.
Difference = [tex]\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1\times 2}{2\times 2}[/tex]
Difference = [tex]\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{4}[/tex]
Difference = [tex]\frac{3-2}{4}[/tex]
Difference = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of a foot.
So, it snowed [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of a foot more yesterday than today.
