Question

At a plant nursery, 5/8 of the planets for sale are flowers and another 1/3 of the plants are shrubs. What amount of the plants for sale are either flowers or shrubs?

Answer 1

Answer: 23 / 24

Explanation:

Given that:

Fraction of flowers for sale = 5/8

Fraction of shrubs for sales = 1/3

Amount of flowers that are either flowers or shrubs :

(Fraction of flowers +. Fraction of shrubs)

(5/ 8 + 1 /3)

L.C.M of 8 and 3 = 24

= (15 + 8) / 24

= 23 / 24
