An electrical company decides to replace the lightbulbs in all of the nonworking streetlights on two specific streets. The company learns that 2/3 of the lights do not work on the first street and 1/6 of the lights do not work on the second street. What is the total fractional portion of the nonworking lights on these two streets? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the total fractional portion of nonworking lights on the two streets, we need to add the fractional portions for each street.

On the first street, 2/3 of the lights do not work.
On the second street, 1/6 of the lights do not work.

Adding these two fractions, we get: 2/3 + 1/6 = 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6

So, the total fractional portion of nonworking lights on these two streets is 5/6.
