An orchard

During a visit to an orchard, Greg picked 3/5 of a bag of delicious golden apples, 4/5 of a bag of Macintosh apples, 2/5 of a bag of Cortland apples, 1/5 of a bag of Bartlett pears, and 4/5 of a bag of Bosch pears. How many bags of fruit should Greg pick in total?

Correct answer:

n =  14/5 = 2 ⁴⁄₅

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{3}{5}+\frac{4}{5}+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3+4+2}{5}=\frac{9}{5}=1\frac{4}{5}=1.8 \\ p=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{4}{5}=\frac{1+4}{5}=\frac{5}{5}=1 \\ n=a+p=\frac{9}{5}+1=\frac{9}{5}+\frac{1\cdot 5}{5}=\frac{9}{5}+\frac{5}{5}=\frac{9+5}{5}=\frac{14}{5}=2\frac{4}{5}=2.8 \end{gathered}$$
