Tuesday at the zoo, 5/12 of the visitors were adults. Of these adults, 3/10 were men. What fraction of the people who visited the zoo on Tuesday were men?

Respuesta :

You need to do the following equation:

(5/12)*(3/10)

5*3=15
12*10=120

15/120=5/40 of the adults who visited were men.

Tuesday at the zoo, 5/12 of the visitors were adults. Of these adults, 3/10 were men.

To find the fraction  of the people who visited the zoo on Tuesday were men

Multiply the fraction of men with number of adults

[tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{15}{120}[/tex]=  [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]  fraction of the people who visited the zoo on Tuesday were men
