Soo i think since theres 10 pieces of fruit in all and i think "or" means add, so 4/10 plus 3/10 is 7/10 which is 70%???

anonymous · Answer

Okaayy, since theres 10 in all and "or" means add, then you would take 4/10 plus 3/10. Which gets 7/10 which is the simplified form of 70/100 which is 70%, right? Right?? :O
