The proportion of Joshua’s friends who prefer volleyball and soccer is 1/5 + 2/5 = <<1/5+2/5=3/5>>3/5.
If Joshua surveys 25 friends, 3/5 of his friends, then there are 3/5 * 25 = <<3/5*25=15>>15 friends who prefer volleyball and soccer. Answer: \boxed{15}.

If we let the total number of Joshua's friends be represented by the fraction x, we can say that (1/5)x of his friends prefer volleyball and (2/5)x prefer soccer.
Adding these two fractions together, we get (1/5)x + (2/5)x = (3/5)x.
Thus, the fraction of Joshua's friends who prefer volleyball and soccer is 3/5.
If we know that the total number of friends is 25, we can calculate 3/5 * 25 = (3/5) * 25 = 15.
Therefore, 15 of Joshua's friends prefer volleyball and soccer over the other two sports.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's try solving it correctly:
If 1/5 of Joshua's friends like volleyball and 2/5 prefer soccer, then the fraction of friends who prefer volleyball and soccer over the other two sports is (1/5) + (2/5) = 3/5.
To find the number of friends who prefer volleyball and soccer, we need to multiply the fraction 3/5 by the total number of friends, which in this case is 25.
(3/5) * 25 = 15.
Therefore, Joshua has 15 friends who prefer volleyball and soccer over the other two sports.

Apologies for the mistake. You are correct.
The fraction of Joshua's friends who prefer volleyball and soccer is indeed 3/5.
If we know that Joshua has a total of 25 friends, we can calculate (3/5) * 25 to find the number of friends who prefer volleyball and soccer.
(3/5) * 25 = 15.
Therefore, 15 of Joshua's friends prefer volleyball and soccer over the other two sports.
