Answer:
The [tex]\frac{11}{20}[/tex] represents the portion of the paints that are watercolors or acrylics.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Percentage of paint set that contain watercolors = 30 %
thus, fraction of paint set that contain watercolors[tex]=\frac{30}{100}[/tex]
Percentage of paint set that contain acrylics = 25 %
thus, fraction of paint set that contain acrylics [tex]=\frac{25}{100}[/tex]
We have to find the fraction represents the portion of the paints that are watercolors or acrylics.
Thus, the portion of the paints that are watercolors or acrylics = fraction of paint set that contain watercolors + fraction of paint set that contain acrylics.
[tex]=\frac{30}{100}+\frac{25}{100}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{30+25}{100}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{55}{100}[/tex]
Thus,the fraction represents the portion of the paints that are watercolors or acrylics is [tex]\frac{55}{100}=\frac{11}{20}[/tex].
