They donated \dfrac{2}{10} 10 2 ? start fraction, 2, divided by, 10, end fraction of their profits to their school library, \dfrac{1}{10} 10 1 ? start fraction, 1, divided by, 10, end fraction to the animal shelter, and \dfrac{4}{10} 10 4 ? start fraction, 4, divided by, 10, end fraction to the food bank. They saved the rest to buy materials for their next project. What fraction of their profits did Tyler and Katie donate?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{7}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of the amount donated to school library = $\frac{2}{10}$

Fraction of the amount donated to animal shelter = $\frac{1}{10}$

Fraction of the amount donated to food bank = $\frac{4}{10}$

The rest of the amount was saved for next project.

Thus, the total fraction of the amount donated will be the sum of fractions of amount donated to school library, animal shelter and food bank.

i.e.

Fraction of the amount donated = $\frac{2}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{4}{10} = \frac{7}{10}$

This means, Tyler and Katie donated $\frac{7}{10}$ of their profits.
