Question

You drink 2/7 of a pitcher of lemonade. Your friend drinks 3/14 of the pitcher. What fraction of the pitcher do you and your friend drink?

Answer 1

To find the fraction of the pitcher that you and your friend drank, add the fractions 2/7 and 3/14 together. The result is 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction of the pitcher that you and your friend drank, we need to add the fractions 2/7 and 3/14 together.

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 7 and 14 is 14.

So, 2/7 + 3/14 = (4/14) + (3/14) = 7/14 = 1/2.
