Question

Ricki took a survey in the fifth grade and found that 2/3 of the students ride the bus to school, and 1/4 of the students walk. What fraction of the fifth-grade students either ride the bus or walk to school?

Answer 1

11/12 of the 5th grade ride the bus or walk to school.

Explanation:

First you have to find a LCD (least common denominator) for both fractions which is 12.

Second you have to multiply the numerator by whatever you multiplied the denominator by for both fractions

Finally you add both fractions together and you get 11/12
