Question

While I was teaching my students I stumbled on that question because I have a serious headache. I need help because I am starting to grade papers.

Five-eighths of the marching band members are seniors and 1/5 of the marching band are juniors. What fraction of the marching band members are freshmen and sophomores?
Sofar you have 5/8 + 1/5
= 25/40 + 8/40
= 33/40

which leaves 7/40 of the band to consist of freshmen and sophs
Thank you Reiny
