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?

Answer 1

Since 1/5 of Josh's friends like volleyball, and 2/5 prefer soccer over the other three sports, then 1/5 + 2/5 = 3/5 of his friends like volleyball or soccer.
So, the number of Joshua's friends who like volleyball and soccer is 3/5 x total number of his friends. Answer: \boxed{3/5}.

Answer 2

3/5
