Mr Ambayen

Mr. Ambayen had 3 6/7 hectares of land. He planted 1/5 of it for coconut trees and 1/2 for avocado trees. What fraction of Mr. Ambayen's land was planted with trees?

Correct answer:

x =  7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} A=3\frac{6}{7}=3+\frac{6}{7}=\frac{3\cdot 7+6}{7}=\frac{21+6}{7}=\frac{27}{7}=3\frac{6}{7}\doteq 3.8571\text{ha} \\ x=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{10}+\frac{5}{10}=\frac{2+5}{10}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7 \end{gathered}$$
