Question

John filled $\frac{1}{6}$ of a bucket with oranges. Ana filled $\frac{4}{6}$ of the same bucket with the oranges she picked. How much of the bucket did they fill together?

• A. $\frac{4}{6}$
• B. $\frac{2}{5}$
• C. $\frac{5}{12}$
• D. $\frac{5}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{5}{6}$

Portion of the bucket filled by John $=\frac{1}{6}$
Portion of the bucket filled by Ana $=\frac{4}{6}$

Portion of the bucket filled together $=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{4}{6}$

$=\frac{1+4}{6}$

$=\frac{5}{6}$
