Joshua surveys his friends to find out which recreational sport is most liked. He asks each of his friends if they prefer basketball, soccer, baseball, or volleyball. He finds 1/5 of his friends like volleyball and 2/5 prefer soccer. How many of Joshua’s friends prefer volleyball and soccer over the other two sports? (1 point)

Answer 1

If 1/5 of Joshua’s friends like volleyball, then Joshua has 5*1/5 = <<5*1/5=1>>1 friend who likes volleyball.
If 2/5 of Joshua’s friends prefer soccer, then Joshua has 5*2/5 = <<5*2/5=2>>2 friends who prefer soccer.
The total number of friends who prefer volleyball or soccer is 1+2 = <<1+2=3>>3. Answer: \boxed{3}.
