Question

PLEASE HELP ME Jerome has 1/4 of the group's video games at his house. Mario has 2/5 of the group's video games at his house. What fraction of the groups's video games is either at Jerome's house or Mario's house? Explain your work
I"LL GIVE YOU BRAINLEST ANSWER IF YOU EXPLAIN YOUR WORK AND ITS CORRECT!!!!!!

Answer 1

We need to add 1/4 + 2/5. Remember that the denominators have to be the same to add. The LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.   1/4 = ?/20. Since 4 x 5 = 20, 1 x 5 = 5, so 1/4 = 5/20. 2/5 = ?/20. 5 x 4 = 20, 2 x 4 = 8, so 2/5 = 8/20. 5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20, which is your final answer! Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Okay, I am so sorry if this is late! The answer would be 13/20. And of course, I'll explain how I got it.

Step-by-step explanation:

What fraction of the group’s video games is either at Jerome’s house or Mario’s house?

The information the I have given in the question is that Jerome has 1/4 of the group's video games at his house and Mario has 2/5 of the group's video games at his house.

Here are the steps I used to find my answer:

1. Find the common denominator of 4 and 5: 20

2. 1/4 + 2/5 =

3. (1*5/4*5) + (2*4/5*4) =

4. 5/20 + 8/20 =

5. 13/20

Therefor, 13/20 of the group's video games are at either Jerome's house or Mario's house.

To check my answer, I went over my steps and did them once more. I got the same answer both times, this shows that my answer is reasonable.

Hope this helps!
