A bakery had 1/2 of a cake left. They bought another 3/4 of a cake. How much cake do they have now?

The bakery now has 1 1/4 (or 1.25) cakes in total.

On Monday, Sarah ate 1/3 of a pizza. On Tuesday, she ate another 2/5 of a pizza. How much pizza did she eat in total?

Sarah ate a total of 11/15 of a pizza. This is calculated by adding the fractions: 1/3 from Monday and 2/5 from Tuesday, which equals 5/15 + 6/15 = 11/15.

A farmer harvests 2/3 of his corn and sells 1/4 of it. How much corn does he have left?

After harvesting 2/3 of his corn, the farmer has 1/3 left. When he sells 1/4 of this remaining amount, he is left with 3/4 of his 1/3 of the corn, which simplifies to 1/4 of his original amount of corn. So he has 1/4 of his corn left after harvesting and selling a portion.

Jack spent 3/5 of his allowance on a book and 1/4 of it on a toy. How much allowance did he spend in total?

Jack spent a total of 11/20 of his allowance, which means he spent 55% of his allowance in total.

A tank was filled up to 2/3 capacity and then an additional 1/6 was added. What is the tank's total capacity now?

The tank's total capacity is now 5/6 full.

Lisa had a collection of 5/8 seashells. She found 1/4 more seashells at the beach. How many seashells does she have now?

Lisa now has a total of 13/8 (5/8 + 1/4 = 13/8) seashells.

A pizza was divided into 8 equal slices. Sarah ate 3/4 of a slice and Tom ate 1/3 of a slice. How much pizza did they eat in total?

In total, Sarah ate 3/4 of a slice, which is equivalent to 3/4 * 1 slice = 3/4 slices. Similarly, Tom ate 1/3 of a slice, which equals 1/3 * 1 slice = 1/3 slices. Therefore, Sarah ate 3/4 slices, and Tom ate 1/3 slices, which means they ate a total of 3/4 + 1/3 = 9/12 + 4/12 = 13/12 slices. Since 12 slices make a whole pizza, they ate 1 whole pizza and 1/12 of the second pizza.

A bakery sold 2/5 of their bread in the morning and another 1/3 in the afternoon. How much bread did they sell throughout the day?

The bakery sold 2/5 + 1/3 = 6/15 + 5/15 = 11/15 of their bread throughout the day. So, they sold 11/15 of their bread in total.

A bag of marbles had 1/2 blue marbles and 1/3 green marbles. What fraction of the marbles were not blue or green?

The fraction of marbles that were not blue or green from the bag of marbles is 1 - 1/2 - 1/3 = 1 - 3/6 - 2/6 = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6. Therefore, 1/6 of the marbles in the bag were not blue or green.

A garden has 3/4 of its plants in the front and 2/5 of its plants in the back. What fraction of the garden has plants?

The fraction of the garden that has plants is the sum of the fractions of plants in the front and the back of the garden. Therefore, 3/4 + 2/5 = 15/20 + 8/20 = 23/20. Since the total cannot exceed 1 (or 20/20 in terms of fractions), we can simplify 23/20 to 1 and 3/20, meaning the entire garden has 1 whole unit with an additional 3/20 of plants, totaling 23/20 of the garden having plants.
