Answer 1

Rides and Games are together a total of 8/10 of the fairground.

Answer 2

The fraction of the fairground is rides and games is:

8/10

Explanation:

It is given that:

The fairground is divided into sections.

rides are in 6/10 of the fairground.

Games are in 2/10 of the fairground.

Farm exhibits are in 1/10 of the fairgrounds.

Now we are asked to find what fraction of the fairground is rides and games,

Clearly from the data given we could observe that the rides and games both add up to form 8/10 of the fairgrounds.

( Since,

6/10+2/10=8/10)

Hence, the fraction of the fairground is rides and games is:

8/10
