To find the fraction of Tyler's friends who wanted vanilla or chocolate ice cream, we need to add the fractions of friends who wanted each flavor.
Fraction of friends who wanted vanilla ice cream: 1/5
Fraction of friends who wanted chocolate ice cream: 3/5
To find the fraction of friends who wanted either flavor, we add these fractions:
1/5 + 3/5
This is equal to 4/5.
So, 4/5 of Tyler's friends wanted either vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
