Isabelle recorded a total of \( 1 \frac{1}{4} \) centimeters of snow over the three days, which is also 1.25 centimeters.
Solución
To find the total centimeters of snow Isabelle recorded over the three days, you can add the amounts for each day:
- **Wednesday:** \( \frac{1}{2} \) cm
- **Thursday:** \( \frac{1}{2} \) cm
- **Friday:** \( \frac{1}{4} \) cm
**Step-by-Step Calculation:**
1. **Add Wednesday and Thursday:**
\[
\frac{1}{2} \, \text{cm} + \frac{1}{2} \, \text{cm} = 1 \, \text{cm}
\]
2. **Add Friday's snowfall:**
\[
1 \, \text{cm} + \frac{1}{4} \, \text{cm} = 1 \frac{1}{4} \, \text{cm}
\]
Alternatively, in decimal form:
\[
1 + 0.25 = 1.25 \, \text{cm}
\]
**Total Snowfall:**
\[
1 \frac{1}{4} \, \text{centimeters} \quad \text{or} \quad 1.25 \, \text{centimeters}
\]

Bonus Knowledge
Isabelle recorded a total of \( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} \) centimeters. First, let's add the \( \frac{1}{2} \) centimeters for Wednesday and Thursday, which equals \( 1 \) centimeter. Next, add \( \frac{1}{4} \) centimeters to this total. To combine these fractions, convert \( 1 \) to \( \frac{4}{4} \). So, \( \frac{4}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \) centimeters. Therefore, Isabelle recorded a total of \( 1.25 \) centimeters or \( \frac{5}{4} \) centimeters of snow.
