Question

3/8 of the corn in the U.S is grown in Iowa. 1/4 of it is grown in Nebraska. How much of the corn supply is grown in the two states?

Answer 1

5/8 of it is the total for both states

1/4 is equal to 2/8. 3/8 + 2/8= 5/8

Hope this helped

Answer 2

`(5)/(8)`

Explanation:

`(3)/(8)` of the corn grown in Iowa.

`(1)/(4)` of the corn grown in Nebraska.

To calculate the total corn supply is grown in the two states.

We have to add both value.

Total supply = Corn grown in Iowa + Corn grown in Nebraska

`=(3)/(8)+(1)/(4)`

`=(3)/(8)+(2)/(8)`

`=(3+2)/(8)`

`=(5)/(8)`

Hence,
`(5)/(8)` of the corn supply is grown in the two states.
