Hoping to be named Salesperson of the Month, Seth called the names from 3/5 of a page of the phone book last week. This week, he called the people listed on another 1/2 of a page of the same phone book. How many pages worth of people did Seth call in all?

Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answer 1

Answer: 11/10 or 1 1/10 pages

Explanation:

3/5 + 1/2 = x

find the LCD so that you can add the fractions.

3/5 (2/2) = 6/10

1/2 (5/5) 5/10

6/10 + 5/10 = 11/10 or 1 1/10
