Question

Madison planted her garden with 2 5 marigolds and 3 7 tulips. What fraction of the plants in the garden are either marigolds or tulips? A) 29 35 B) 5 12 C) 5 9 D) 6 35

Answer 1

Is that the whole question? Are there any pictures or anything? I don’t think you can solve this one without knowing how many plants (marigolds, tulips, and otherwise) there are in total. If you do know how many plants there are, you simply add the number of marigolds and tulips together (25+37) and divide it by the total number of plants there are to get your fraction. Hope this helps!
