In a particular condominium community 2/3 of all of the men are married to 3/5 of all of the women. What fraction of the entire condominium community are married?
To find the fraction of the total population that are married, I found the lowest common numerator
3/5 of women: Multiply top and bottom by 2 to get 6/10
2/3 men: Multiply top and bottom by 3 to get 6/9
Add 6/10 + 6/9= 12/19 of the entire condominium community are married
Looks like we came up with the same answer here! :)
