Question

Your county proposes a new bill to help provide funds for dog walkers at the local animal shelter. Over a two-day voting period, the county finds  3/8  of the voters are in favor of the bill and the next day  1/4  are in favor. How many total voters are in favor of the bill?

GPT 3.5 · Answer

To find the total number of voters in favor of the bill, we need to find a common denominator and add the fractions. The common denominator of 8 and 4 is 8.

3/8 + (1/4) = (3 * 1 + 1 * 2) / 8 = 5/8

So, a total of 5/8 of the voters are in favor of the bill.

To find the total number of voters in favor, we need to know how many voters there are in total. This information is not given in the question.
