Answered by Ms. Sue
I think you're missing something. Obviously, some students enjoy more than one sport.

Answered by Bethany
But if some students enjoy than one sport how does that go to do with anything? Can you please help me I really need help?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Your problem states that 4/5 enjoy basketball, and 5/6 enjoy soccer.

4/5 + 5/6 = 24/30 + 25/30 = 49/30 = 1 19/30

That's way more than the total number of students.
