A city data report shows that 1/3

Question

of the parks in that area have a flagpole. If the city decides to install more flagpoles in another 1/3
of the parks, what is the total fractional portion of parks that have flagpoles?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the total fractional portion of parks that will have flagpoles after the city installs more, we start with the initial fraction of parks that have flagpoles, which is $\frac{1}{3}$.

The city plans to install flagpoles in another $\frac{1}{3}$ of the parks. To find the total fractional portion of parks that will have flagpoles after the installation, we can add the two fractions together:

$$\text{Total portion with flagpoles}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Therefore, the total fractional portion of parks that have flagpoles will be $\frac{2}{3}$.
