As a sporting goods store,3/10 of all the items are baseball items and 1/3 of all the items are football items. What fraction of the total number of items in the store are baseball or football items?
Find a common denominator first... which would be 30
3/10×3= 9/30 baseball items
1/3×10= 10/30 football items
10/30+9/30= 19/30 total football and baseball items
19/30 doesn't simplify, so the answer is 19/30
