+589 In the FreeWheelin' Skate Shop, exactly 1/4 of the skateboards are red and exactly 2/3 of the scooters are red. If there are equal numbers of red skateboards and red scooters in the shop, what fraction of the total skateboards and scooters together are red?
Express your answer as a simplified fraction.
Thank you.

The fraction is 4/11 (See diagram))
+36916 Say there are 24 boards 1/4 = 6 red boards
so 2/3 of the scooters = 6 also then red scooters = 9
24 + 9 = 33 total items 12 are red 33 f = 12 f = fracton of total f = 12/33 = 4/11 of the total are red

24 + 9 = 33 total items 12 of the total (6+6) are red
33 f = 12 f = fracton of total f = 12/33 = 4/11 of the total are red
