    On Monday the town got 2 3/4 (2.75) inches of snow.

    On Tuesday it got 1 1/2 (1.5) times as much: 2.75 x 1.5 = 1.375 (inch)

    ⇒ On Tuesday the town got 1.375 inch of snow.

    On Wednesday it got 7/8 (0.875) inch of snow.

    After Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the town got:

    2.75 + 1.375 + 0.875 = 5 (inches of snow)

    For the rest of the week, the town got:

    15 1/2 - 5 = 10 1/2 = 10.5 (inches of snow)
