Fractions are used to represent the quotient of two integers
The fraction of potato used is 11/15
From the question, we have the following parameters:
1 bag = 15 sweet potatoes
Casserole = 2/5
Pie = 1/3
The fraction of potato used is calculated using:
Fraction = Casserole + Pie
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{Fraction = \frac 25 + \frac 13}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]\mathbf{Fraction = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1 \times 5}{15}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Fraction = \frac{6 + 5}{15}}[/tex]
Simplify the numerator
[tex]\mathbf{Fraction = \frac{11}{15}}[/tex]
Hence, the fraction of potato used is 11/15
