Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify the amount on Monday
The amount of snow on Monday is 7 inches.
Step2: Calculate the amount on the second day
We need to find $\frac{2}{5}$ of 7. So we multiply 7 by $\frac{2}{5}$, which is $7\times\frac{2}{5}=\frac{14}{5}$.
Answer:
$\frac{14}{5}$ (or in the boxed form as per the diagram, the numerator is 14, denominator is 5, and the whole number part is 0, so filling the boxes: the first box (whole number) is 0, the numerator box is 14, the denominator box is 5. But as a fraction, it's $\frac{14}{5}$)
