Question

In a survey, 4/10 of students voted for less homework, while 2/10 of students voted for fewer tests. What fraction of students voted either for less homework or fewer tests? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} \text{Less homework=4/10} \\ \text{Fewer tests=2/10} \\ \text{Either less homework or fewer tests = }\frac{4}{10}+\frac{2}{10}=\frac{4+2}{10}=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{5} \end{gathered}$
