Answer:
The fraction of smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry is [tex]\frac{11}{12}.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Of the smoothies sold yesterday at Marlins smoothie shop, 5/6 were banana and another 1/12 were strawberry.
Now, to find the fraction of the smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry.
Fraction of smoothie were of banana = [tex]\frac{5}{6} .[/tex]
Fraction of smoothie were of strawberry = [tex]\frac{1}{12} .[/tex]
Now, to get the fraction smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry by adding both the fractions of banana and strawberry:
[tex]\frac{5}{6} +\frac{1}{12} \\\\=\frac{10+1}{12} \\\\=\frac{11}{12}[/tex]
Therefore, the fraction of smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry is [tex]\frac{11}{12}.[/tex]
