Answer 2

Answer:

$\dfrac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{3}{8}$ of the corn grown in Iowa.

$\dfrac{1}{4}$ of the corn grown in Nebraska.

To calculate the total corn supply is grown in the two states.

We have to add both value.

Total supply =  Corn grown in Iowa + Corn grown in Nebraska

                 $=\dfrac{3}{8}+\dfrac{1}{4}$

                 $=\dfrac{3}{8}+\dfrac{2}{8}$

                 $=\dfrac{3+2}{8}$

                 $=\dfrac{5}{8}$

Hence,$\dfrac{5}{8}$ of the corn supply is grown in the two states.
