Question

At the local nursery, 1/6 of the plants for sale are flowers and another 7/12 of them are bushes. What fraction of the plants for sale are either flowers or bushes?

Answer 1

3/12

Explanation:

Because first off, you have to make 1/6 addable to 7/12. So multiply 1/6 by 2 and should get 2/12. Add the two together (2/12 + 7/12 = 9/12). Now, How much more needs to be added to make 12/12, 3/12. So I believe the answer is 3/12.
