A city data report shows that 1//3 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) Responses 2/3 Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction 0 0 1/3 Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction 1/2

1 answer

To find the total fractional portion of parks that have flagpoles after installing more, we start with the given information:

  1. Initially, \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the parks have flagpoles.

  2. The city plans to install flagpoles in another \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the parks.

To calculate the new total portion of parks with flagpoles, we add the two fractions:

\[ \text{Initial portion with flagpoles} + \text{Portion to have flagpoles installed} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} \]

Adding these fractions:

\[ \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \]

So, after installing flagpoles in another \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the parks, the total fractional portion of parks that have flagpoles will be:

\[ \frac{2}{3} \]

Thus, the answer is \( \frac{2}{3} \).
