Answer: 1/6

Explanation:

This is a question that has to do with the addition of a fraction. Since we are given the information that of the teacups in Bonnie's Tea Shop, 1/12 are blue and another 1/12 are orange.

Then, the fraction of the teacups that are either blue or orange will be calculated as:

= 1/12 + 1/12

= 2/12

= 1/6

Therefore, the fraction of the teacups that are either blue or orange is 1/6.
