A city data report shows that 13 of the parks in that area have a flagpole. If the city decides to install more flagpoles in another 13 of the parks, what is the total fractional portion of parks that have flagpoles?(1 point)
Responses
The total number of parks is 13 + 13 = <<13+13=26>>26 parks.
The fractional portion of parks that have flagpoles is 26/26 = <<26/26=1>>1. Answer: \boxed{1}.

Your city wants to replace a fence around the city baseball field property, including the parking lot. The city learns that the total distance around the property is 1 1/2 of a mile. They already have enough fencing to cover 3/4 of a mile. How much more distance of fencing would they need to purchase?(1 point)

1 mile
1/2 of a mile
Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction of a mile
2 1/4 of a mile
To find out how much more distance of fencing they need to purchase, we need to subtract the distance they already have from the total distance around the property.
Total distance around the property = 1 1/2 miles
Distance they already have = 3/4 of a mile
To subtract mixed numbers, we need to have the same denominator. So, let's convert 1 1/2 miles to an improper fraction.
1 1/2 miles = 3/2 miles
Now we can subtract:
3/2 miles - 3/4 miles
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4.
3/2 miles = 6/4 miles
So the subtraction becomes:
6/4 miles - 3/4 miles = 3/4 miles
Therefore, the city would need to purchase an additional 3/4 of a mile of fencing. Answer: \boxed{3/4}.
There are three people running to be elected as the Town Clerk. If the first person gets 1/3 of the votes, and the second person gets 2/15 of the votes, what is the total votes for the two people?(1 point)

To find the total votes for the first two people, we need to add their vote fractions.
First person's votes: 1/3
Second person's votes: 2/15
To add fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 15 is 15.
1/3 votes = 5/15 votes
2/15 votes (already in the form of the common denominator)
Now we can add:
5/15 votes + 2/15 votes = 7/15 votes
Therefore, the total votes for the first two people is 7/15. Answer: \boxed{7/15}.
