Your neighborhood would like to raise funds to update the equipment in the neighborhood park they hold a bake sale and raise 3/8 of the desired funds and then have a neighborhood a yard sale and raise another one forth what is the total fractional amount of the funds they have raised
To find the total fractional amount of the funds raised, we need to add the fractions representing each source of funds.
The fraction raised from the bake sale is 3/8.
The fraction raised from the yard sale is 1/4.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8. So, we can rewrite the fractions as follows:
3/8 = 3 * 1/8
1/4 = 2 * 1/8
Now, we can add the fractions:
3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8
Therefore, the total fractional amount of funds raised is 5/8.
