Answer:

Explanation:

Given that Amir is sorting his stamp collection. He has made a chart of what countries the stamps are from

He got results as

France 1/3

Morocco 5/12

Spain 1/6

To find out what fraction of Amir's stamps are from France, Morocco, or Spain, we have to simply add the three as there is common element between any two pairs

Hence answer is


(1)/(3) +(5)/(12) +(1)/(6)\\ =(11)/(12)
