Question

Of 60 cities, 3 have a lake and 29 have a river running through them. What fraction of these 60 cities have a lake or river running through them?

Answer 1

Hello!

We know our denominator is 60, because that is the total amount of cities. Now, we must find our numerator:

3 + 29 = 32

Fraction: 32/60

You can simplify this by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4:

32 ÷ 4 = 8 60 ÷ 4 = 15

FRACTION (SIMPLIFIED): 8/15
