First convert 3 1/2 into improper fraction = 7/2
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide the rainfall by the snow.
\n" ); document.write( "7/2 divide by 1/8
\n" ); document.write( "Flip
\n" ); document.write( "7/2 multiply by 8/1
\n" ); document.write( "56/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 28\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence it would take about 28 inches of snowfall to weigh as the rainfall.
