Question

There were 10 bowling pins standing before Jared took his first turn. On his first turn, he knocked down 5 pins. On his second turn, he knocked down 3 pins. What fraction of the pins did Jared knock down his 2 turns

Answer 1

He knocked down 8/10 (eight tenths) in his 2 turns.

Explanation:

5 pins = 5/10

3 pins = 3/10

5/10 + 3/10 = 8/10

2/10 of the pins are still standing.
