Question

Of the computer games Lynne owns, 5-12 are sport games and 3-12 are educational. What fraction of the games are either sport games or educational games?

Answer 1

Of 5 out of 12 (5/12) are sports games and 3 out of 12 (3/12) are educational, then you would add these together because you need a total for both because it would include one or the other, so both.

5/12 + 3/12= 8/12 or 2/3 are one or the other.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

Lynne owns 12 games.

Of those

5 are sports games

3 are educational

What fraction of the games are either sport games or educational games?

$f = \frac{5}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}$
