Answer:


(3)/(4)

Explanation:

There are 20 total cards ( 9 + 5 + 6). 15 of them are yellow or blue(9 + 6). So, the fraction is
(15)/(20).
(15)/(20) simplifies to
(3)/(4).

Answer:


(3)/(4)

Explanation:

9 + 5 + 6 = 20 (how many cards there are altogether)

9 yellow + 6 blue = 15 (how many cards are either yellow or blue)

so:


(15)/(20)

simplified:


(3)/(4)
