Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{13}{20}$ of the group's video games is either at Jeromes house or Marios  house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement: Jerome has 1/4 of the group's video games at his house.

Also,Mario has 2/5 of the group's video games at his house.

⇒ Jerome has group's video games at his house(J) = $\frac{1}{4}$

and

Mario has group's video games at his house(M) = $\frac{2}{5}$

To find the fraction of the group's video games is either at Jerome house or Mario house.

Between two they have = $J+M$ = $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{5+8}{20} =\frac{13}{20}$ of the group's video games.
