Answer:

To find the fraction of red apples in the basket, we add the fractions of red apples and then simplify if needed.

Fraction of red apples = 5/8

Fraction of green apples = 1/4

Total fraction of apples = Fraction of red apples + Fraction of green apples

= 5/8 + 1/4

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8.

So, we rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 8:

5/8 + 1/4 = (5/8) + (2/8) = (5 + 2)/8 = 7/8

Therefore, 7/8 of the apples in the basket were red.

★ Answer:

  • [tex] \implies \tt\cfrac{7}{8} [/tex]

★ Given:

  • There is a basket.
  • In that the fraction of red apples are [tex]\tt\frac{5}{8}[/tex] and green apples are [tex]\tt\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

★ To Find:

  • Fraction of the apples in the basket were red?

★ Explanation:

[tex] \implies \sf{} \dfrac{5}{8} = \dfrac{1}{4} [/tex]

[tex] \implies \sf{} \dfrac{5}{8} + \dfrac{1}{4} [/tex]

Doing LCM we get,

[tex] \implies \sf{} \dfrac{5}{8} + \dfrac{2}{8} [/tex]

The denominator is same so add the numerator,

[tex] \implies \sf{} \dfrac{5 + 2}{8} [/tex]

[tex] \implies \sf{} \dfrac{7}{8} [/tex]

[tex]\therefore[/tex] The fraction of apples is [tex]\tt\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex].
