Question

Of the smoothies sold yesterday at Marlins smoothie shop, 5/6 were banana and another 1/12 were strawberry . What fraction of the smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry

Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction of smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry is  $\frac{11}{12}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Of the smoothies sold yesterday at Marlins smoothie shop, 5/6 were banana and another 1/12 were strawberry.

Now, to find the fraction of the smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry.

Fraction of smoothie were of banana = $\frac{5}{6} .$

Fraction of smoothie were of strawberry = $\frac{1}{12} .$

Now, to get the fraction smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry by adding both the fractions of banana and strawberry:

$\frac{5}{6} +\frac{1}{12} \\\\=\frac{10+1}{12} \\\\=\frac{11}{12}$

Therefore, the fraction of smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry is  $\frac{11}{12}.$
