in fred's catering order 5/12 of the lunches are sandwiches 2/12 are salads and 4/12 are pastas. Which equation can be used to find c, the fraction of the catering order that is sandwiches or salads?A c=5/12 + 4/12B c= 5/12 + 2/12C c= 2/12 + 4/12D c = 5/12 + 2/12 + 4/12

Respuesta :

We can express an equation to find the fraction of the catering order that is sandwiches or salads by summing up the fractions of the sandwiches and the salads, in this case, the fraction of the sandwiches is 5/12 and the fraction of the salads is 2/12, then the equation looks like this:

c = 5/12 + 2/12, option B is the correct answer
