Question

On Friday, 3/10 of the students were wearing white shirts and 5/12 of the students were wearing blue shirts. What fraction of the students were wearing either a white shirt or a blue shirt?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{43}{60}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the fractions of the students wearing either a white shirt or blue shirt is as follows:

$= \frac{3}{10} + \frac{5}{12}\\\\= \frac{18 + 25}{60} \\\\= \frac{43}{60}$

Hence, the fractions of the students wearing either a white shirt or blue shirt is $\frac{43}{60}$
