Answer:
1 4/15 balls
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that:
Chase caught 2/3 of the balls hit to left field.
Ryan caught 3/5 of the balls hit to right field.
The Lowest common denominator for both fraction is given as 15
Hence, the equivalent fractions for each boy is calculated such that the denominators of both fraction is 15
For Chase:
We Multiply both numerator and Denominator by 5
2 × 5 /3 × 5 = 10/15
2/5 = 10/15
For Ryan
We Multiply both numerator and Denominator by 3
3 × 3 /5 × 3 = 9/15
3/5 = 9/15
The total amount of the balls they both caught is:
10/15 + 9/15
= 19/15 = 1 4/15
