An electrical company decides to replace the lightbulbs in all of the nonworking street lights on two specific streets. The company learns that 2/3 of the lights do not work on the first street and 1/6 of the lights do not work on the second street. What is the total fractional portion of the nonworking lights on these two streets?(1 point)
To determine the total fractional portion of the nonworking lights on these two streets, we need to add the fractional portions of the nonworking lights on each street.
For the first street, 2/3 of the lights do not work.
For the second street, 1/6 of the lights do not work.
Adding these two fractions, we have:
2/3 + 1/6 = (4/6) + (1/6) = 5/6
Therefore, the total fractional portion of the nonworking lights on these two streets is 5/6.
