Working day

Greg spends 1/4 of his workday in meetings and 1/12 of his workday answering phone calls. What is the total fraction of his workday that Greg spends in meetings or on phone calls?

Correct answer:

x =  1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

$x=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{12}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{3+1}{12}=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}=0.3333$
