4,because 2+5 equals to 6 and 4 times one is 4
3 times 4 =12 8 times 4=32
So 12:32 is the same as 3:8
Since 3/5 of the students wore blue shirts and 1/4 of the students wore white shirts, you need to find the Total of 3/5 and 1/4.
First, step find a common denominator for both fractions
EXAMPLE: 3/5+1/4=Total 3/5 becomes 12/20 and 1/4 becomes 5/20.
Second, notice that both fractions now have the same denominator, now you can find the sum of both fractions which is 17/20
Finally, you need to check if the fraction can be SIMPLIFIED if not then the fraction is already im simplest form.
THE ANSWER: 17/20 of students wore either a blue or white shirt on Friday
