Lucy wasn't allowed to have any pets so she collected stuffed animals instead. She had 36 animals total. 3/12 of them were bears and 4/6 of them were dogs. What fraction of the animals were either dogs or bears?

You can increase fractions and they will tell you also
3/12 times 3=9/36 bears
4/6 times 6= 24/36dogs
So 33 of the animals were dogs or bears
But to simply add the fractions make the denominator the same by timesing the 4/6 by 2
So 3/12 plus 8/12 is
11/12
So 11/12 is your answer.
Hope this helps good luck brainliest would be appreciated

Using the rise/run rule. you would get 2/6.simp. 1/3

None of the options you showed are it.
