if sadia picked 2/5 of a basket of berries, Tashi picked 1/3 of a basket, shafma picked 4/7 of a basket and marzuk picked 4/5 of a basket do all of their berries fit into 2 baskets?

OK......if we add all the fractions and we get a number less than "2" they will
Start by adding the 4/5 and the 2/5 = 6/5
To this add 1/3 so we have
6/5 + 1/3 and getting a common denominator, we have
18/15 + 5/15 = 23/15
To this add the remaining 4/7
So we have
23/15 + 4/7 and getting a common denominator, we have
161/105 + 60/105 = 221/105 = 2.1
So the berries won't all fit into 2 baskets
