Your neighborhood would like to raise funds to update the equipment in the neighborhood park. They hold a bake sale and raise 3/8 of the desired funds and then have a neighborhood yard sale and raise another 1/4. What is the total fractional amount of the desired funds they have raised?(1 point)
To find the total fractional amount of the desired funds raised, we need to add the fractions obtained from the bake sale and the yard sale.
The fraction raised from the bake sale is 3/8.
The fraction raised from the yard sale is 1/4.
To add these fractions, we need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 8.
So, 3/8 + 1/4 = (3/8) + (2/8) = 5/8.
Therefore, the total fractional amount of the desired funds they have raised is 5/8.
