James left the farm gate open and 3/4 of the turkeys, 3/4 of the chickens and 1/2 of the goats got out. What fraction of the turkeys and chickens got out altogether?
10/34 is your answer
To find the fraction of turkeys and chickens that got out altogether, we need to combine the fractions of turkeys and chickens separately.
Let's start with the turkeys:
Given that 3/4 of the turkeys got out, we need to calculate the fraction:
3/4 of the turkeys = 3/4 * 1/1 = 3/4
Next, let's consider the chickens:
Again, given that 3/4 of the chickens got out, we calculate the fraction:
3/4 of the chickens = 3/4 * 1/1 = 3/4
Now, let's add the fractions of turkeys and chickens that got out together:
3/4 (turkeys) + 3/4 (chickens) = 6/4 = 3/2
Therefore, the fraction of turkeys and chickens that got out altogether is 3/2.
