George ate 2/ 3 of a container of Chinese food. Silvia ate 1/ 5 of the same container of Chinese food. What fraction of the container of Chinese food did they eat together?

Respuesta :

Answer: Fraction of the container of Chinese food they eat together = [tex]\dfrac{13}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Fraction of Chinese food eaten by George = [tex]\dfrac23[/tex]

Fraction of Chinese food eaten by Silvia = [tex]\dfrac15[/tex]

Fraction of the container of Chinese food they eat together = [tex]\dfrac23+\dfrac15 =\dfrac{2\times5+3\times1}{3\times5}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{10+3}{15}=\dfrac{13}{15}[/tex]

Fraction of the container of Chinese food they eat together = [tex]\dfrac{13}{15}[/tex]
