At the Webster Ski Resort, it snowed \( 37 / 12 \) feet yesterday and \( 1 / 2 \) of a foot today. How much more did it snow yesterday than today? Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. feet

To find out how much more it snowed yesterday than today, we need to subtract today’s snowfall from yesterday’s snowfall. Yesterday, it snowed \( \frac{37}{12} \) feet, and today it snowed \( \frac{1}{2} \) feet. First, convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 12: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{6}{12} \] Now, subtract: \[ \frac{37}{12} - \frac{6}{12} = \frac{31}{12} \] Thus, it snowed \( \frac{31}{12} \) feet more yesterday than today, which can also be written as \( 2 \frac{7}{12} \) feet.
