In a class book order,2/3 of the books are fantasy and 1/4 of the books are biography.If the order contains 60 books, many books are either fantasy or biography?
Heuejeje
To find the number of books that are either fantasy or biography, we need to add the number of fantasy books and the number of biography books.
Let's start by finding the number of fantasy books. We are told that 2/3 of the books are fantasy. To find this, we need to multiply the total number of books by 2/3:
Number of fantasy books = (2/3) * 60
= 40
Next, let's find the number of biography books. We are told that 1/4 of the books are biography. Again, we need to multiply the total number of books by 1/4:
Number of biography books = (1/4) * 60
= 15
Now we can find the number of books that are either fantasy or biography by adding the number of fantasy books and the number of biography books:
Number of books that are either fantasy or biography = Number of fantasy books + Number of biography books
= 40 + 15
= 55
Therefore, there are 55 books that are either fantasy or biography in the class book order.
60
2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 3/12
(11/12) * 60 = _______ books
