Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A or B = A+B
Given: In a fish tank, [tex]\dfrac15[/tex] of the fish are guppies and [tex]\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex] of the fish are goldfish.
Then, the fraction of the fish that are guppies or goldfish in the tank=[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2+5}{5\times2}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]
Hence, the equation most closely estimates the fraction of the fish that are guppies or goldfish in the tank:
[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]
