At a playground, 2/5 of the total area is covered by swing sets and 1/3 of the total area is covered by play systems with slides.
What fraction of the total area of the playground is covered by swing sets and play systems with slides combined?
Responses
To find the total area covered by swing sets and play systems with slides combined, we need to add the fraction of the area covered by swing sets (2/5) and the fraction of the area covered by play systems with slides (1/3).
2/5 + 1/3 = 6/15 + 5/15 = 11/15
Therefore, 11/15 of the total area of the playground is covered by swing sets and play systems with slides combined.
