Question

1/10 of a box of smarties are red and 1/5 are blue. What fraction of the box is red and blue

Answer 1

The answer is 3/10 just like the person on top of me said hope this help

Answer 2

3/10 because if you convert the 1/5 to tenths you multiply 5 times 2 and 1 times 2 which gives you 2/10. Then if you add the 2/10 plus the 1/10 you would get 3/10 so the fraction of red and blue smarties would be 3/10
