Answer:

Fraction of the scouts are square dancing is \frac{19}{30}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pair  is one Girl Scout and one Boy Scout.

So,  to  the final fraction ( of the pairs) we are going to get 1/2 from the fraction of girls and 1/2 from the fraction of boys.  

Girls= \frac{2}{3} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{2}{6}

Boys= \frac{3}{5} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{10}

To get the fraction of the scouts that are square dancing,  we have to add the fraction of girls ,  with the fraction of boys.  

=\frac{2}{6} +\frac{3}{10}

=\frac{(2*10) +(6*3)}{6*10} =\\ \frac{20+18}{60}

=\frac{38}{60}

=\frac{19}{30}

This means that  from 30 scouts ,  19 are dancing.
