Question

Of the pies that Lorenzo's Pie Shop sold last month, 1/2 were blueberry pies and 2/5 were blackberry pies. What fraction of the pies sold were either blueberry or blackberry?

Answer 1

Assuming that blueberry blackberry combination pies aren’t a thing,

Then the answer is 9/10

This problem involves adding fractions with different denominators. For this type of problem you can change the value of the denominators in each fraction to equal the same thing. Since they are fractions, the overall value will not change if you multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Answer 2

We add 1/2 of the blueberry and 2/5 of the blackberry this will give us 9/10.Firstly we found the LCM of their denominator which is 10,you divide the ten by the denominator of 1/2 which is 2 and multiply by the numerator which is 1,it will make 5 and we put the plus sign you repeat the same process with 2/5 which will give you 4.You then add 4+5 which will make 9 the numerator and 10 as the denominator.
