Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Paper Clips picked by Betty=2/5

Paper clips picked by Joanne=3/10

Total paper clips picked up =2/5 + 3/10

Take the lcm of the denominators that is 10

2/5 × 2/2=4/10

3/10×1/1=3/10

Adding 3/10 and 4/10= we get 7/10.

Hence total clips picked up by both the people are 7/10.
