Question

The Eat Right Fruit Company sells 9/15 of a ton of bananas to one customer and 13/15 of a ton of bananas to another customer. How many tons of bananas does the company sell?

Answer 1

Since the problem is simply asking for the total tons of bananas the company sold, we can just simply add the tons of bananas the Eat Right Fruit Company sold to the two customers.

Doing this operation, we'll get:

`(9)/(15)+ (13)/(15)= (22)/(15)=1 (7)/(15)`

ANSWER: The company sold
`1(7)/(15)` tons of bananas.
