Answer:

The fraction of students who likes soccer or basketball is 7/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have two groups of students, the group a is the one that prefers soccer, while the second group is the one that prefers basketball. We then need to find the fraction that represents the students that are in either group, in these cases we need to take the fractions of each group and sum them. So we have:

soccer OR basketball = soccer + basketball

soccer OR basketball = 2/5 + 3/10

Through LMC we have:

soccer OR basketball = (2*2 + 3)/10 = (4 + 3)/10 = 7/10

The fraction of students who likes soccer or basketball is 7/10.

there are six muffins in a package how many packages will be needed to feed 48 people if each person has two muffins
wolverine [178]

Answer:

16 packages of muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First you need to find out how many muffins you need total. If each person has two muffins and there are 48 people, how muffins would that be? To find out, multiply 48 and 2 together.

48 * 2 = 96

So now we know that we must have 96 muffins in total

2) Now we have to find out how many muffin packages we will need. If there are 6 muffins in each package and we need to have 96 muffins in total, how many packages will we need? To find out, divide 96 by 6.

96/6 = 16


From this we know that you will need 16 packages
