Answer:

The range is between 11/30 and 9/10

Explanation:

The question here says that Leon drew cards between 1/6 and 1/2 and we are asked to find out the range of the sum of the 2 cards.

Between 1/6 and 1/2,we know that the smaller figure here is 1/6 and if he drew between 1/6 and 1/2,then there is every possibility that it could be 1/5 ,1/4,1/3.

And then if we were asked to for find the range of the sum of the cards,then we have to calculate the sum of the 2 smallest figures and that of the bigger ones.

Here, we have 1/6 and 1/5 as the 2 smallest numbers and their sum will be

1/6 + 1/5 = 11/30

We do same for the 2 largest numbers which are 1/2 and 2/5

1/2 + 2/5 = 9/10.

Therefore, the range us between 11/30 and 9/10
