Two-sixths of the tokens are blue. Three-sixth of the tokens are gold. What fraction of the tokens are either blue or gold? I will explain why I'm asking after a few replies.

Okay thanks. Tman came home with a math study sheet today. They filled the answer in during class and went over the answers together. Tman had 1/6 as his answer and when I told him that was wrong, he insisted that his teacher agreed that it's 1/6. He was subtracting the tokens and giving what would remain. I explained to him that the "either" means both of them. It would say neither if they wanted him to give what was left besides the gold and blue. He continued to insist that was what his teacher said. So, I told him that if he does it my way and gets it wrong, I will take responsibility.
