Question

Lee and Maya are collecting leaves for an art project. Lee collect 24/100 of the tiral number of leaves needed. Maya collects 4/10 of the total number of leaves needed. What fraction of tge total number of leaves did they collect altogether?

Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction of the total number of leaves did they collect altogether is $\frac{16}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a sum of fractions.

Lee collect 24/100 of the tiral number of leaves needed.

Maya collects 4/10 of the total number of leaves needed.

What fraction of the total number of leaves did they collect altogether?

This is the sum of 24/100 and 4/10.

The lesser common multiple between 100 and 10 is 100. So

$\frac{24}{100} + \frac{4}{10} = \frac{24 + 10*4}{1001} = \frac{64}{100}$

We can simplify by four

The fraction of the total number of leaves did they collect altogether is $\frac{16}{25}$
