At a party. andy and april shared a cherry pie. andy ate 2/5 of the pie and april ate 1/3 of the pie. what fraction of the pie did they eat altogether

the fraction of the cherry pie that they ate altogether is 11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total size of the cherry pie that Andy and April shared.

Andy ate 2/5 of the pie. This means that the total amount of cherry pie that Andy ate is 2/5 × x = 2x/5

April ate 1/3 of the pie. This means that the total amount of cherry pie that April ate is 1/3 × x = x/3

The amount of the cherry pie eaten by both Andy and April would be

2x/5 + x/3 = 11x/15

Therefore, the fraction of the cherry pie that they ate altogether would be

(11x/15)/x = 11/15
