Answer:
The fraction of the total number of leaves did they collect altogether is [tex]\frac{16}{25}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by a sum of fractions.
Lee collect 24/100 of the tiral number of leaves needed.
Maya collects 4/10 of the total number of leaves needed.
What fraction of the total number of leaves did they collect altogether?
This is the sum of 24/100 and 4/10.
The lesser common multiple between 100 and 10 is 100. So
[tex]\frac{24}{100} + \frac{4}{10} = \frac{24 + 10*4}{1001} = \frac{64}{100}[/tex]
We can simplify by four
The fraction of the total number of leaves did they collect altogether is [tex]\frac{16}{25}[/tex]
