Answer: 3½

Step-by-step explanation: Solving the problem by adding and subtracting to get the amount of snow that fell and melted and was left, we get the following:

Monday = no snow (0inch)

Tuesday = + 3inch

Wednesday = 3 - ½ = 2½ inch

Thursday = 2½ + 2½ = 5 inch

Friday = 5 - 1½ = 3½ inches snow left
