To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

a-
(3)/(4)of acne employees receive raises.

b-
(1)/(3) of those who receive raises also receive bonuses.

2. Therefore, you must multiply both fractions, as following:


((3)/(4) )((1)/(3) )=(3)/(12)

3. Now, simplify the expression:


(3)/(12) =(1)/(4)

The answer is:
(1)/(4)
