Question

For a class gardening project, 1/3 of Mrs. Montoya's students planted marigolds and 1/2 planted tulips. What fraction of the class planted either marigolds or tulips?

Answer 1

Hi there!

To find the total fraction of the class that selected both marigolds and tulips, we need to add the two fractions together.

1/3 + 1/2 = 2/6 + 3/6

2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6

Hope this helps!
