Answer 1

The common denominator for 4 and 5 is 20. The total fraction is 19/20. The correct answer is not provided in the given options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total fraction of students who participated in the Flag Day celebration, we need to add the fractions representing the proportion of students from DPS Dubai and Winchester.

We are given that 3/4 of the students were from DPS Dubai and 1/5 of the students were from Winchester.

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 5, we get 15/20.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 1/5 by 4, we get 4/20.

Now, we can add the fractions:

15/20 + 4/20 = 19/20

Therefore, the total fraction of students who participated in the Flag Day celebration is 19/20.
