Answer:
6/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at is a whole. Half the plants are flowers, and just a few are bushes. That leaves other plants that are neither.
We can find a total amount of plants that are either flowers or bushes by combining the two.
Because 1/2 and 1/10 are not currently combinable, you must find a common denominator. This common denominator is 10. If you multiply 2 by 5, you'll get 10.
[tex]\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{1} (\frac{1}{2} )+\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{10} +\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{6}{10}[/tex]
This means that 6/10 of the whole number of plants are either flowers or bushes. You could also say it means that 4/10 of the plants are something other than flowers or bushes.
I hope this helped :)
