Answer:

3/10 of all the M & M's are red and blue.

Explanation:

Given that 1/10 of the M & M's in a bag are red and 1/5 are blue, to determine what fraction of all the M & M's are red and blue, the following calculation must be performed:

1/10 = 0.10

1/5 = 2/10 = 0.20

1/10 + 2/10 = X

3/10 = X

Therefore, 3/10 of all the M & M's are red and blue.
