Fraction of smoothie that is Banana = 1/4

Fraction of smoothie that is strawberry = 2/3

The fraction of smoothies that were either banana or strawberry

= 1/4 + 2/3

Least Common Denominator= 12

= (3 × 1 + 2 × 4)/12

= 3 + 8/12

= 11/12

The fraction of smoothies were either banana or strawberry is 11/12
