Jesus.

This is clearly for elementary students. I don't understand the issue.

>I don't understand the issue.
The questions are completely incoherent. The information given has no connection to the "answers", and it reads like it was written by something who doesn't even understand what fractions are.

>This is clearly for elementary students.
How does that make it better? If anything that's worse, because elementary students aren't going to have the skills or confidence to reject the shitty questions.

This is like "how old is the shepherd", except in reverse:

>The questions are completely incoherent.

They're asking you to add two fractions together.

Not confusing.

Not hard.

>They're asking you to add two fractions together.
They clearly expect you to add two fractions together, but adding the fractions doesn't actually solve the problem they presented, or even make any sense.

>They're asking you to add two fractions together.
No, they aren't, though they may think they are.

>7/10 of the whole school chooses potatoes over tomatoes and is in Herschbenazi class
>21/100 of the whole school chooses potatoes over tomatoes and is in Sinney's class.
>If you combine Herschbenazi and Sinney's classes, what's is the fraction of the school that chooses potatoes over tomatoes and is in both classes.
