on Monday it snowed a total of 15 inches. on Tuesday and Wednesday it snowed an additional 4 1/2 inches and 6 3/4 inches respectively. a weather forecaster says that over the last 3 days it snowed 2 1/2 feet . is this a valid claim?

No, because 2 1/2 ft is equal to 30 inches. 15+4.5+4.5+6.75=30.75, which would round to 31 inches.
