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 \( \frac{2}{3} \).
