what fraction of the plants in the garden are either marigolds or tulips
29/35
5/12
5/9
6/35
To find the fraction of the plants in the garden that are either marigolds or tulips, we need to add the fractions for marigolds and tulips together.
The fraction for marigolds is 2/5.
The fraction for tulips is 3/7.
To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 35 (since 5 and 7 both divide into 35 evenly).
Converting the fractions to have the common denominator:
2/5 = 14/35
3/7 = 15/35
Adding the fractions together:
14/35 + 15/35 = 29/35
Therefore, the fraction of the plants in the garden that are either marigolds or tulips is 29/35.
To find the fraction of plants in the garden that are either marigolds or tulips, we need to add the fractions for marigolds and tulips together.
The fraction of marigolds in the garden is 2/5, and the fraction of tulips is 3/7.
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 7 is 35.
Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 35:
2/5 = (2 * 7) / (5 * 7) = 14/35
3/7 = (3 * 5) / (7 * 5) = 15/35
Now, we can add the fractions:
14/35 + 15/35 = 29/35
Therefore, the fraction of plants in the garden that are either marigolds or tulips is 29/35.
The correct answer is 29/35.
To find the fraction of plants in the garden that are either marigolds or tulips, we need to add together the fractions representing the marigolds and tulips.
The fraction of marigolds in the garden is 2/5 and the fraction of tulips is 3/7.
To determine the common denominator, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 7, which is 35.
Now, we can convert the fractions so that they have the same denominator:
2/5 * 7/7 = 14/35 (equivalent fraction for the marigolds)
3/7 * 5/5 = 15/35 (equivalent fraction for the tulips)
Next, we add the two fractions together:
14/35 + 15/35 = 29/35
Therefore, the fraction of plants in the garden that are either marigolds or tulips is 29/35.
So, the correct answer is 29/35.
