Madison planted her garden with 2 5 marigolds and 3 7 tulips. what fraction of the plants in the garden are either marigolds or tulips?

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Madison planted her garden with marigolds and tulips.

To find the number of plants in the garden that are either marigolds or tulips, we will add both numbers as:

Make a common denominator:

Add numerators:

Therefore, of the plants in the garden are either marigolds or tulips.

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
