brett is building a fence around his yard. he has worked on it for two weeks so far. he finished 2/8 the first week and 3/8 the second week. what fraction of the entire fence has he built?



Answer :

If Brett built 2/8 of the fence in the first week and 3/8 of the fence in the second week, then he built 5/8 of the fence overall.

2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8

By the way, it means that he has still 3/8 of the fence to build.
